Fifty Shades of Gay

This was a very touching, inspiring and passionate video. Thanks TEDxWomen!

TEDxWomen invites iO Tillett Wright to speak about "fifty shades of gay"
http://www.ted.com/talks/io_tillett_wright_fifty_shades_of_gay


{Artist iO Tillett Wright has photographed 2,000 people who consider themselves somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum and asked many of them: Can you assign a percentage to how gay or straight you are? Most people, it turns out, consider themselves to exist in the gray areas of sexuality, not 100% gay or straight. Which presents a real problem when it comes to discrimination: Where do you draw the line? (Filmed at TEDxWomen.)}

The yellow equal sign

The Human Rights Campaign

I don't really know what they do, but I see the bumper stickers, T-shirts, etc... everywhere, especially around the city of San Francisco. [http://www.hrc.org/] However, I do like this back to school twitter post they have about how to confront the "That's so Gay!" phrase among students:
