![Brittany VanHorn - Why I posed.
Growing up I was very involved in theatre. I convinced my best friend to do it too. He loved it. He discovered that he can be himself and no one judged him for it. In other activities, he felt that judging is all people could do. Shortly after we graduated, I got a phone call. "Brittany, I think you are the least judgmental and the most accepting person I've ever met. You've probably known longer than I have, but I'm gay....Say something" "[insert name here] I know. I know. I've known since 8th grade, when you asked me if you were gay." A few weeks later I get a phone call from another friend, this one is 4 years younger. He came out to me and didn't know how to tell his mom. He told his mom, but she completely blew it off, after reading the story of Sadam and Gomora (sp?) to him several times and Leviticus at least twice. After all that, he just took it back and said, "Mom, I might be gay, but I'm not sure yet." There are pictures of him and his boy friend up on facebook for the world, including his mother, to see. I have so many stories like this. All telling me of hardships they've had at school; how they can't come out in high school because of the locker room situation. I love them all dearly, and I hate to see them suffer. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. That's why I did this. The times are changing. The laws have evolved with every generation. It's time for a revolution.](/my_noh8_photos/659/TIGHT_small.jpg?1292244802 "Brittany VanHorn - Why I posed.
