Many of the people who show up to Orange County Equality Coalition (OCEC) events have had some hard times. After all, nothing motivates someone to start working for gay rights like being discriminated against, harassed, made fun of, or simply struggling with the reality of one's own or a family member's sexuality. But OCEC's Cas Gregory helps people turn the tough stuff into compelling narratives that, hopefully, can break the back of negative stereotypes about the LGBT community. Attend a meeting or event at which the Storytellers speak, and you'll hear tales from moms and dads, sons and daughters, people who hurt and people who no longer do. You won't leave dry-eyed.
