The Quilt Show is a marvelous exhibition of art, talent, and heartfelt community involvement. To be where so many come together to enjoy this visual and tactile event is such a personal joy. I was smiling throughout the entire viewing of the quilt exhibition.

As a member of the gay community, I have always heard of gay and lesbian leaders elsewhere in the United States. It never occurred to me that there were so many amazing people in our history!
