Daniel Anders will become Philadelphia's first openly gay judge today. And, as the Philadelphia Inquirer points out, the appointment's quite fitting, for today's National Coming Out Day.
39-year old Anders knows, however, that coming out can't be contained:
Though lots of people know I'm gay, the coming-out process really doesn't end. It's important to be who you are and to be happy with yourself.
…
Many other courageous people came out before me. Being gay doesn't define who I am or impact my job in any tangible way, but maybe I can be a role model for some gay kid or inspire someone to get involved in politics.
Though unique to Philadelphia, Daniel isn't the only gay Anders: his older brother, Chris, works as a lawyer for the ACLU. Mama must be so proud.

Hey, Mrs. Patrick "Aids is a Myth" Campbell, why don't you just stop reading this site?
And who the fuck is 'we'?
We are sorry that WWH has such an unhappy life…
Yeah, I'm unhappy when I come across people like you. HIV/AIDS is not a myth, but a grim reality. As with most drugs, the R&D expense that went into developing the Meds was simply huge. They may be expensive, but they have saved and will save countless lives.
