La artista iO Tillett Wright ha fotografiado a 2000 personas que se consideran estar dentro del espectro LBGTQ y les ha preguntado: ¿Podrías decir el porcentaje gay o hetero que tienes? La mayoría considera que se encuentran en las áreas grises de la sexualidad y no 100 % gay o hetero. Esto presenta un problema serio al abordar la discriminación: ¿Dónde se establece la línea? (Filmado en TEDxWomen.)

As a child actor, iO Tillett Wright turned her shoes around in the bathroom stall so that people would think she was a boy. As a teenager, she fell in love with both women and men. Her life in the grey areas of gender and sexuality deeply inform her work as an artist. Full bio »
