Episode 206 Craig Wilson
One of the people that helped make the show the way it is from an article from today’s guest to the show – Craig Wilson a great columnist for USA Today. A few years ago, he wrote an article about a gay teen who came out to his family and how the parents kicked him out of the house and he talked about a charity called The Point Foundation. The organization provides scholarships and mentoring to GLBT kids who are not able to get support from the family. He inspired me to not only contribute to the cause but I was lucky to interview one of the scholars and it really had an impact on me. For this reason I really feel that Craig and his article about his life is an inspiration to not only the GLBT community but also to anyone else who reads the article and shows that being gay is simply a part of his life.

I don’t read “USA Today” either but I did look up Craig’s columns online. I loved them, but of course, “The Final Word: What Sparks Everlasting Love” was a favorite.

I’ve only read USA Today in Hotels and Airports while traveling, so I haven’t previously been familiar with his work. I dug the “generational” perspective. I felt it was a great history lesson for our up-n’-coming generation of kids.
