During the past year there have been many members of the Rochester LGBT community whose contributions to our ongoing struggle to be free and equal under the law have moved us closer to that reality. By no means are the “shoulders” that follow all of the heroes of 2010. You have only to look in the mirror.
By definition a hero is a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal, or a person noted for special achievement in a particular field. What makes the members of the LGBTI community of Rochester heroes? Quite simply it is as basic as getting up in the morning, living our lives as members of the LGBT community and sharing who we are with our world as honestly and openly as we can!
