[EXPOSURE]

Back in October, Tufts celebrated National Coming Out Day by presenting an open forum for students, allies, professors, and politicians alike (Representative Carl Sciortino came and spoke!) to share stories and thoughts about coming out and LGBT love. The air was incredible – happiness, reflection, pride, and somberness all rolled into one. At the end of the event, attendees snagged American Apparel’s “Legalize Gay” t-shirts… and ending up on their web site as a result! These are some of the best shots from the event…
