Love Is Love: An evening at home with BJ Gruling and Rick Clark

Bay Bridge welcomes you to join us in celebration of Valentine’s Day, Love is Love: an evening at home with BJ Gruling & Rick Clark

Gather with us as we learn more about being LGBTQ partners, both in life and business, with BJ Gruling & Rick Clark while enjoying some of their favorite food and drink to celebrate Love and the New Year. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner…let’s raise a glass because Love is Love.

A little bit about Rick and I. I am American raised in Wisconsin while Rick is Canadian raised north of Toronto. We met in the late 1980s while working at a hospital in Saudi Arabia. We are both science and healthcare professionals. This is quite an unusual place (Saudi Arabia) for gay people to meet. We were also able to travel the world while living in the Middle East. In 1990 after we had each returned to our birth country, Rick relocated to Milwaukee where I was now residing as there was a high demand for his profession.

We lived in several different neighborhoods around Milwaukee and have now been Whitefish Bay residents for over 20 years. We opened Kilwins Milwaukee-Bayshore in 2014 and enjoy supporting the communities we live in and especially our youth.
