I volunteer for the ACLU, walk for the National Kidney Foundation and Dana Farber.
I am a Heathen/Pagan and follow the Nine Noble Virtues; Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Self Reliance, Perseverance and Industriousness. I am not evil and I respect other's spiritual practices.
I have been a volunteer with Planned Parenthood.
Labels have caused ostracization and have made day to day life challenging.

I've belonged to a benevolent organization in the past (the Rebekahs / Odd Fellows) and will be joining again! I also find cat related things to make my friend smile when she's sad.
I saw the banner and knew I had to do it. Looking at me I know people make assumptions, and some are right... but some vital ones are wrong.
Fought against unnecessary government surveillance.
Information is power, and that power is flowing in the wrong direction, toward government and multinational corporations. We must reverse that flow and use information to empower individuals instead.

I'm studying Physics so that I can go into toy design, because I want to create toys that will make kids happy while also hopefully shaping them into more loving and better people than the generations before them.
I think it's important to see that people of with the same labels can look wildly different, and I also think it's nice to look at people and see that we're all just trying to make the world a better place, in our own way.

All my animal companions are rescues, mostly from shelters. We also try to adopt older animals because not just puppies deserve love.
Growing up, no knew what to call me. I didn't fit anywhere. So, acceptance is more important to me than what labels I identify as.
