Yeah.
Manny, why are you running for public office?
And what's the real reason, not the stump speech?
Did you anticipate your father and family to have the reaction that they did to you coming out?
Worse than disowning?
And then you come to San Francisco and you feel this sense of refuge, of safety in this place.
And then you ended up creating Manny's.
Can you explain what Manny's is for people who haven't heard of it?
Reflecting on your story about growing up as a closeted Orthodox Jew and in many ways
fearing that you would lose the community that you cherish so much, I find myself wondering, did you create Manny's to create the community that you were denied as a kid?
How much did that play into that?
Meaning you feel lonely.
You end up creating Manny's, which for folks listening who are not in San Francisco is just a staple in the city.
Most people know about Manny's and have experienced it in some way.
And it's a huge success and an amazing watering hole, especially for political discourse and civic engagement.
I'm wondering actually on that point, can you—
share some of the craziest moments?
Like the things you've seen or heard?
And a story that really articulates the life cycle of political advocacy and also the different sides of Manny's, right?
You have the going door to door, you have the celebration, the drag, but then also the heaviness that's all contained in one space, right?
