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.

I volunteer as much as I can to help people to succeed in life.

Why are you participating?

Because my friend asked me to years ago and I'm finally doing it & enjoying the opportunity! Thank you Troy!
