Social Activist
When I was young, I lived in and visited countries where freedom of expression did not exist. I was a vocal protestor of the Vietnam War and joined the military because I believed that a country that would give me the freedom to criticize it deserved my support. I remain an activist today, working to create equality for LGBTQI peoples.
