Website Wants You to
Talk About Your Rights

Tell-Three.org is urging anyone, gay or straight, to have conversations with three people about what it's like to be LGBT, asserting that coming out isn't enough. The website asks visitors to "Tell three people what it's like for you or your loved ones to be LGBT. Because we used to think coming out would win us our rights. Now we know it takes more than that."

Tell Three offers conversation starters and discussion subjects, as well as links to resources. The website stresses the significance of opening dialogue and speaking to those who are conflicted about LGBT issues.

The website especially encourages speaking to those who don't have a hard-line opposition to LGBT rights, "Like your aunt, who has nothing against gay people, but firmly believes in restricting marriage to straight couples. Even if your story won't change her vote, it might make her think twice before giving money to antigay groups. But having these conversations with diehard homophobes and transphobes usually isn't helpful -- and could discourage you from having conversations with other people who might end up on our side."
