Ricky coming out was a game changer for many gay and transgender Latino children, who for too long, did not have many out gay people to look up to. Through his music, videos and interviews, Ricky has sent an important message that our community wants the same things all people do: an equal chance to raise our families and take care of our loved ones.
ReplyDeleteWhen allies like Kristin take such powerful stands against anti-gay sentiments in the media, it sends an important message of equality. It is a privilege to honor such a talented and conscientious advocate for fairness towards the LGBT community.
