"Personally, I love being around my community, it makes me feel safe. It makes me feel comfortable. I like Fashion. I like showing my body, and around certain groups of people, I don't feel comfortable doing that. I don't want to be ostracized or attacked. And here, I can be myself," said N'siah Premeh, who identifies as queer.
"I came out in 1975, when I was 15. I saw a lot of hatred. I saw a lot of gay people beaten up just because they were gay. And it seems we're going all the way back. It's because we're accepting it. We have got to fight back now," said Gary McCormick, who is from Las Vegas.
