Celebrating LGBTQ+ Role Models

A total gem! The personal stories and journeys of those featured in the Uncommon Heroes Project are a treasure for our community, an often ostracized people. The richness in diversity of this project affirms that not only have we worked hard for inclusion but that we are here and we’re not going anywhere. – Victor Castaneda 

We can’t do it without you
