Lance Black's Participation in the Homecoming Project - Live Out Loud

Last year, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Lance Black ("Milk") participated in The Homecoming Project, Live Out Loud's grassroots initiative that brings successful gay adults back to their high schools to share their stories, lessons, and hope with today's students.

Black's extraordinary visit to North Salinas High School in California's conservative Central Valley is captured in the powerful short video.

Having gay people go into highschools and talk to assemblies can be a very powerful force which changes students perceptions and dispells stereotypes. The closer the gay speaker is to the age of the students, the more closely they listen.

We need more people like Lance. So articulate and such a giving person. It was a wonderful treat to meet him!
