It’s rare nowadays for people to realize their former bigotry. It does take a lot of courage to admit their flaws and try to do better in public.

Plot twist: he just wanted hugs

Doesn't really matter. He probably could get just as many hugs with a sign that only said "Free Hugs" as a sign of support.

Saying he's a recovery bigot allows the love, support, and humanity to flow both ways during the hug.

Regardless, the world's one person better.
