Agree with this. At my company, top brass is basically a cabal of baby boomer LGBT+ scientists who moved here in the 1990s/early 2000s to escape living in the closet in small minded bible belt towns. I'm not LGBT but it's pretty inspiring every day to work alongside them.
When I first started I happened to sit near our top QA exec and over the years as I got to know him he was telling me how in the 1980s his team at MD Anderson used to smuggle blood across the border from Mexico in briefcases before the FDA finally bowed to building pressure and got around to mandating screening for antibodies and accepting INDs.
