Cheryl Chow, Seattle's API leader comes out!

Cheryl Chow being 66 years now is still making waves in the community.  What great news to wake up to. After thinking about my own coming out process and realizing at the Brandi Carlile (another local Seattle lesbian) concert a few nights ago that it has been 10 years since my coming out to myself. Now with political leader Cheryl Chow, who has been a well regarded and spokesperson for the API community, has come out  - its a big deal.
