What defines Beauty? And what truly makes a person Beautiful?
“Outwords” the local monthly LGBT magazine is doing a search for Winnipeg’s most Beautiful people. They are looking for people who are beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. This got me thinking…a dangerous thing I know! Who is the judge of what makes a person beautiful. The LGBT community, including yours truly is far too obsessed with image.

Winnipeg is filled with beautiful people who radiate from within as well as looking pretty damn fierce!!  I am sure that will be the main focus of this list.  I cannot wait to see who is on this list, I know of a few people who deserve this recognition. I love reading “outwords” each month, and very much support the idea of this list and celebrating members of our community. I’d like to see this evolve into a Greatest Manitoban list, similar to what CBC did a few years ago with the Greatest Canadian of all time.  I don’t think one can really define what beauty is or what makes a person beautiful because as I see our own individuality is what makes us each beautiful in our own way.  I think the list will be interesting.  I wonder if my name will grace its pages????? Hmmm…

A big shout out to all of the folks who participated in the rally against gay bashing in Vancouver. As a victim of a minor gay bashing incident, I was impressed with how the community came together and was reminded of how supportive everyone was towards me. We as a community need to stick together and Celebrate the positives while standing strong and united against the negativity we as a community face. HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
