L'artista iO Tillett Wright ha fotografato 2000 persone che si considerano in qualche modo appartenenti allo spettro LGBTQ e ha chiesto a molti di loro: Puoi misurare in percentuale quanto sei gay e quanto sei etero?

Il che presenta un vero problema per la discriminazione: dove stabilire il limite? (Girato a TEDxWomen)
