Synopsis: This web series is Pro-LGBT! The intent is to encourage all of us, LGBT or not, to stand in your truth, whatever that might be.

This project honors influential LGBT individuals as well as calls out those with a public platform who deny their authenticity. You only live once, so don't be afraid to fly your own freak flag! Most importantly, when you don't recognize and vigorously support the rights for any humanitarian movement, such as the LGBT one, you sanction abuse and harassment against it.
