I do my best to be out and proud and try my best to be hyper-aware of my actions and how they affect the people around me. Before transitioning I identified as a queer female and was quite invisible in society. I had to raise my voice to be heard and I had to fight to make sure that my accomplishments were not overlooked by my male counterparts. Now I identify as a white male and society sees me that way. Now I am seen, I am heard. But I remember how it felt to be invisible and remind myself everyday of the women and minorities who are still invisible in this white-male dominated world.
Why are you participating?
I participate because this project is a great concept and has the potential to spread good messages to people. I like to participate every year because I'm constantly evolving/changing and want to reflect that.

Every year I try to volunteer for at least two organizations in my community to help make a difference any way I can. Two of my favorite ones are Toys 4 Tots, and the Red Cross. Being able to raise money for those in need and / or having toys to hand out on Christmas is amazing.

I ran for a presidential election for the Camp Fire After School Program at my elementary school and won. As the president of the program, I assisted Camp Fire staff with organizing fun activities and games for the other children in the program. My mom and I provided toys and weekly snacks to all students free of charge and I also worked closely with the vice president.
Why are you participating?
I wanted to participate with my mom.

After the earthquake in Haiti, my friends and I put on a concert to raise funds to send to Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross. We gave free merchandise to those who supported these efforts. Although I only had $50 in my bank account to last me for 2 weeks, I happily sent all of the money we raised from our show to the two organizations we had chosen so they could help with relief efforts.
Why are you participating?
I'm tired of people making erroneous assumptions about others based on stereotypes.

I work at an adventure/zip-line park. Over the course of the season I interact with thousands of people, from a variety of different races / cultures / countries / religions / ages / genders / sexual orientations. At the park I have the opportunity to treat everyone equally and with respect, as well as create a safe space for the variety of people have fun with their friends and families. It isn't groundbreaking good deed work or anything, but it is a gratifying feeling to know that you helped create a positive experience for people.
Why are you participating?
It is fun!

I always carry protein bars to hand out to anyone in need. Last week, I gave one to a homeless man who yelled to his friend across the street and tossed him half the bar. Made me smile :)

The best way to decrease intolerance is to educate and create awareness. I think this is a great cause, and an excellent way to help people see beyond one's immediate appearance.
