It really brings to light the importance of the IGB movement, in conjunction with legislation to promote equality.
I think the stories of individuals, celebrity or not, are really important and need to be heard. I was especially touched by Tim Gunn’s account (his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GGAgtq_rQc ) and Belo Cipriani’s book Blind: A Memoir (http://blindamemoir.com ) Belo’s friends attacked him and blinded him for being gay. His story is really inspiring and worth reading!
