The events in Orlando have touched me deeply. In the eight years that I’ve been doing this website, I’ve met many people (90 as of today), and several of them are gay.
I’m proud to have met them all.
Last week’s tragedy makes it more important than ever that the voices of the LGBT community are heard. So a Thursday throwback today, I want to highlight some positive stories from a few of the gay people that I have interviewed. They are actors, photographers, doctors, writers, business owners, and more. All have faced adversity at some point, but are proud of where they are today.
