If you live in almost any major US city I am almost certain that
you've seen many people zipping around the streets on electric
scooters. Even electric bikes and skateboards are becoming more
of a "thing". If you saw my Instagram post a few weeks ago you
may have seen the post of myself and Karamo Brown from Queer Eye.
And then if you read the caption, you'd see that I don't have a
car (well, at the time I didn't have a car, I do now, but that's
not important to the story).

Living without a car in Los Angeles is not ideal, the transit
system is anything but robust and glamorous. So as the rise of
electric scooters took off, I naturally was a big fan. In fact, I
needed to figure out how I could get one of these bad boys for
myself! I started digging around the internet and thank you IG
ads, I came across, Boosted Boards!

Boosted Boards flagship product is that electric skateboard that
you see all over town (at least here in LA). Well, they also now
make whats they call the Boosted Rev, an electric scooter! When I
was watching videos on their website and YouTube trying to get a
good sense of this machine I was blown away. This truly is a
beast. The thing has 3 modes and a top speed of 25mph. I have yet
to find a scooter that gives you that much speed.

So I'm digging and digging, mining the internet and keep coming
back to the Boosted Rev. So finally, I end up on a call with
their marketing team. Because only naturally, right? Full
disclosure, I got the Boosted Rev. and I'm glad that I did! Yes,
it's an awesome machine, but honestly, it's more about the team
behind the scooter. I'm talking about the team at Boosted Boards.
This is where I met Bobby. Bobby on the marketing team as Boosted
Boards. When we started talking I was very candid with him
letting him know who I was (i.e LGBT Stories) and that Boosted's
web presence doesn't show one much of inclusion within the LGBTQ
community. There was nothing that stood out that would make any
LGBTQ kid who has that same "skater vibe" that Boosted does, feel
personally connected to the company. He laughed when I said this,
and then proceeded to tell me about how LGBTQ friendly the
office. That was reassuring. That's when he told me that he was
actually gay and a perfect example of how inclusive they are as a
company. So this brings us to today's story.

Bobby Dunn is going to share his LGBT Story with us all! I hope
that this story reaches all the young skater boy kids out there
that might be listening today. Growing up in America can often
feel as though we have to conform to a specific group of people.
A specific style or vibe. Well, what if we didn't? What if we
could just show up to our peers, just the way we are and say,
Hey, this is me. Like me or not, your call. But I'll be over here
skating.
