3.14 Paul, the Oakland Temple, and Pride

We missed posting this one during Pride month, but it’s relevant! Join us for a conversation with local beloved Berkeleyite Paul.  We hear how his relative worked on the Oakland Temple in the 50s, and about Paul’s life being gay in San Francisco in the 80s. He loves the temple, and hearing his testimony was delightful.  Thanks Paul!

Sandwiches!  From Paul: “It was nice to happily share sandwiches in 1962 with a person born in 1874.”
