I AM...

I am whatever YOU think I am until YOU get to KNOW me. This is true for everyone else too, of course.. so don't make assumptions about anyone or pass judgment; ask questions. You might just make a new friend.

IN THE LIFE: "FIRST CLASS CITIZENS"





Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of equality, IN THE LIFE looks back at how LGBT rights intersect with the broader movement for civil
rights in this country. Revisiting the first gay rights protests, the gay men
of color who joined the Million Man March and the first openly gay federal
judge, we celebrate those who stood up and spoke out for full LGBT equality.

started by two of the earliest gay rights organizers: Frank Kameny and Barbara
Gittings.
