Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer with LGBTQ youth at Safe Homes in Worcester. I love being an example to the kids that growing up doesn't have to mean conforming. I'm not sure that it qualifies as a good deed though. I think they have done more to help me than I have to help them. They remind me why I'm an activist and why the LGBTQ community needs people like myself.

Why are you participating?

I truly believe that stereotypes are a detriment to our society. I am judged every singly day of my life and I know that most of those judgements are wrong.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I'm the friend you call at 2am when you're in the middle of nowhere and need a gallon of gas. I volunteer on crew with Cycle for the Cause every year.

Why are you participating?

This is an amazing project and cause. Labels have haunted me for years. Here's to owning all the good and bad, they've made me who I am and I'm a better person because of it.
