Your video should combine significant research and personal observations to create an original, relevant, entertaining, and accurate story to document LGBTQ people, places, and historical events. Ideally, your story will motivate change and provide actions the audience can take.

Creating a story about the Golden Rule is just one of the topics you can explore - and participate in Golden Rule Day 2019.  What is the Golden Rule and how is it related to LGBTQ+ people?  Find out here...
