The Power of Sharing

(via my friend Benja Aquila's blog)

This is a powerful message by The United Nations Free & Equal campaign which was presented on the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT).

Three wonderful quotes from this short video, "Share your story and change hearts and minds", "...we are all the foundation for this movement for equality." and "Change your world, and inspire someone else to do the same"
