Notice they show clips from a film I was in called OUT: Stories of Lesbian and Gay Youth :) We need more programs like this to wake some people up to the reality of living free. And, we need more voices like Ron and Paul in music.

We have come such a long way since 1993.
Yet I have experienced so much racism, homophobia and discrimination in the gay community.
We need to be more kind and accepting towards each other as a community.
