On February 15th, 2010, Yosi Sergant asked our friend  iO to participate in Manifest Equality, a group show designed to bring awareness and policy change to laws affecting the LGBT community in America. On February 16th iO sent out a call to everyone she knew that was part of that community, asking to photograph them and their friends. Her goal was to humanize the abstracted idea of ‘gays’ in America with unposed portraits. She asked for anyone on any end of the LGBT spectrum, accepted everyone who emailed, and made appointments, first come, first serve. She had ten days to shoot. These are those faces. Video after the jump.
