49: Share Your Voice

First off— you matter, your voice matters, and your suffering matters. Imagine how many of our LGBTQ friends across this nation and the world need to hear this right now? Imagine how many of them feel really alone right now. Are alone. What if they can see you, and others like you, say something to them?

49: Share Your Voice is a compilation of interviews of LGBTQ members from Los Angeles, CA that were edited into a short video-message to the world about the attack at Pulse Gay Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
