“50 shades of gay” _ iO Tillett Wright TED Talk

# data[].attributes.body
Since 2010 iO Tillett Wright has photographed thousands of people who consider themselves somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum and asked many of them: Can you assign a percentage to how gay or straight you are? Most people, it turns out, consider themselves to exist in the “gray areas” of sexuality, not 100% gay or straight. Which presents a real problem when it comes to discrimination: Where do you draw the line?
