A Gay Boy and His Car! Travel Across The United States...Driving Equality
CHRIS MASON
is about to embark on a
road trip to raise awareness!
16,000 miles.
100 days.
48 states.
35 cities.
1 goal:
to advance LGBT equality.
Driving Equality is a trek across America to raise awareness of the various forms of discrimination faced by LGBT people in each state of the nation. Highlighting the differences in rights, laws, and amendments between the states will shed light on the current social standing of queer individuals today. I hope to create a dialogue about the disparities across the nation, and what can be done to end discrimination for all.
"During the 100-day trip (which kicks off MAY 11th), I will be meeting with LGBT community organizers, activists, and any citizens willing to talk. Through these interviews, I will gain an understanding of the current political climates, and explore ways of combating discrimination. Throughout my journey, I will make frequent posts on this website, including photos and video clips.
The project will culminate with a documentary of my experience with the aim of activating a discussion about potential strategies for ensuring equality.
Check out my route! If you happen to be along the way, and would like to be a participant let me know. "

Off course there should be equality among the humanity making no difference of women, men or gays.

Good idea – do you have many activities planned along the way? I’d like to see some ways for the non-LGBT community that supports LGBT rights to get involved as well ... the ‘got’ button is a bit obscure :-). Well done though, Michael ... it’s the constant efforts of people like you that has real power to change community sentiment over time.

Hi
With Kate Simon, there should not be any discrimination.
