Having LGBTQ+ people being visible in all walks of life is so important for ultimate acceptance for me. Being a member of Q Initiative has given me peace of mind

My dream is that one day we will have so many out and proud citizens across the globe that no group could easily categorize us as any one thing

I hope that one day young men and women will be able to see through trite stereotypes or false attacks from groups to see that we are all equal members of the human race

Sometimes those of us in the LGBTQ community need to sort out who we are before we can live proudly as we really are. By being true to ourselves we can be true to others, including friends, families, spouses, and colleagues
