Tell Us Your Good Deed

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.

I used to volunteer with Food Not Bombs, I loved doing it a lot but it fell apart. I'm hoping to get people together and start it up again.

Why are you participating?

I like this project. I think that identity is super important. It's one of those things that can be good or bad but it's yours and don't let anyone tell you why it is or what it means!

Labels can be a tricky thing in our world. When we claim them for ourselves, labels can be empowering and enlightening, for us and the world around us. Yet, when used maliciously or without consent, labels can cause unspeakable or unforeseen harm.
