Video: Dustin Lance Black tells his Testimony

May 25, 2011

By Adam Bink

On Monday, Dustin Lance Black helped launch our contest to find the next great American LGBTQ stories. Just over 200 people so far have signed up for the contest (more details here).

But before that, Dustin Lance Black helped inspire the I’m From Driftwood project, according to the founder Nathan Manske, by recording his own Testimony about growing up gay in San Antonio, TX. As it happens, his video Testimony was just posted yesterday morning.

This kind of personal story is what we can use to change more hearts and minds.

You can enter the contest by clicking here, and submit your own video by June 15th. Well-produced or raw, LGBTQ or straight ally, it doesn’t matter. Black and his team will fly to wherever you are to make it pretty. We want to hear your story, or that of your friends, family members, and colleagues.

    Grammatical nitpick: You don't "tell your testimony", you either "give your testimony", "testify", or "tell your story".
