Celebrating Pride has become a key ingredient to the success of one East Bay man's business and personal life.
Dan Floyd owns Dan Good Cookies in Livermore. It was only a few years ago that he publicly embraced Pride."Baking cookies at a mall," he remembered."I thought it was a bad idea until we started seeing it and seeing it. And it got better every time we said it, so yeah, here we are," explained Floyd.
Floyd said opening his business was not nearly as terrifying as opening up to his family about being gay and in a committed relationship. The very definition of Pride sits framed at the countertop as you walk into his cookie shop. Signs of Pride are openly displayed at the shop, more so now after an incident two years ago. Floyd wasVideo of the incident went viral. But that was nothing compared to what happened next. Community members in the hundreds coming together to show Floyd they support him. They stood by him and his business, to the point where he had customers lined up out the door and around the corner for days.
