This month's episode of Graying Rainbows features Reverend Michael Crumpler who is the Director for LGBTQ and Multicultural Programs for the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). He shares the story of how he was able to realize his dream of being a Christian minister AFTER coming out as LGBT+. We also discuss some of the unique challenges he faced as a black man, who happens to be Gay.
