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 am currently student teaching in a first grade classroom. Every day I treat my students with respect and compassion because I want to see them grow to be the best that they can be. They may just be 5 and 6 years old but they are already so smart and so thoughtful!

I am an outlet to my friends, family and even strangers to come to and ask questions regarding safe sex and the LGBTQ community. I was the first person one of my friends came out to.

Why are you participating?

I have never had negative labels. I created and publicly identified by my own words and actions my whole life. Labels describe me; my personality, my orientation, my gender identity, how I see the world, but I never let them define me.
