TED Talks about Gender & Sexual Diversity

Food for Thought

Information is like fire: It can save your life or it can burn you badly.
Bad is when you hurt other people; Evil is when you enjoy doing it.
Don't be closed-minded: Compare different points of view.
Education opens minds; Indoctrination closes minds.
If bias is not clear, follow the money. Who will benefit by publishing the information?

Queer Heroes
