My boyfriend at the time and still one of my best friends, @ATLJono, is kneeling on the far left. I'm next to him.pic.twitter.com/CbAJCXH7BH

Jono, an earlier riser than me, was the person who called me to wake me up on Sept. 11, 2001. ... On Sunday, he called me again.
When I got home from the newspaper I was working at in Ohio on Sept. 12, 2001, I called him and we talked until I could sleep.
As Sunday night turned into Monday morning, we talked again.
He has known me more than 20 years, we dated, he took me to my first gay club, he has helped me when I lose my path.
He's probably also the person who taught me that walking around the Dupont Circle fountain with a guy will always be beautiful and precious.
There's a lot floating around in my head tonight—21 years of living as an out gay man—but support and love and relationships are everything.
For 20 years going, support and love and relationships have gotten me through everything.pic.twitter.com/fKXPWWWQtA
I've gone on too long, but it's probably the week for that. Seriously: Talk to each other; support one another; if you can, love others.
That's all I got. Bed time. ... Night, all, and let us be good to one another.pic.twitter.com/SksFLAthAk
