Tell Us Your Good Deed
For nine months, I stood outside of grocery stores asking people to support LGBT rights. I launched the "Reject Stereotypes, Accept People" Campaign at a conservative business university. I always compliment people on their style.
Why are you participating?
Because after I dyed my hair purple and got tattoos, people started rolling their eyes every time I spoke. Because I grew up not knowing girls could be gay. Because LGBT youth are 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide or self-harm. Because my privilege doesn't erase my struggle with mental illness.
