    Just someone from the LGBT community you have alot of admiration or respect for.

    Mine are -Oscar Wilde (Importance of Being Ernest is so well written) and Alan Turing (Genius and a war hero who was practically murdered by the British government)

    I agree with both of those, though perhaps Alan Turing more so. (Aestheticism annoys me). I'm not very good at having heros though.

    I agree with both of these, both were victims of Homophobic laws that led to their demise, modern day I think the Ex-Welsh Rugby Player Gareth Thomas :slight_smile:

    Oh & not to forget Leonard P. Matlovich what a Guy :slight_smile:

    I don't really have heroes.
    But LGBT people I respect include:
    John Barrowman
    Wanda Sykes
    Jane Lynch
    Alan Turing.

    Not a very profound one,
    but Hannah Hart.

    If it wasn't for her I'd probably still be so deep in denial I didnt realise what I was.

    Also she gets paid to speak her mind and get drunk. Who doesn't admire that?

    One person that really helped me believe that you could be Christian and Gay is Mel White.
