Know Your LGBT History - LGBTs who are changing the world for the better

As expected, GLSEN's Day of Silence was a massive success this year and so I want to end it with a positive note.

We have potential to change the world for the better and that's something we must never forget.

And even though during this day, many of them will choose not to speak, please take a gander at this video montage, listen, and pay attention:
