Gay American Heroes




"The Gay American Heroes Foundation believes that all people who live honestly about their sexual orientation or gender identity are heroic, as it takes great strength and courage to face the daily struggles for personal freedom in the face of enormous opposition; to ultimately lose their life for said freedom makes them heroes." "Gay American Heroes is an important and moving tribute to the lives lost to hate and violence."
