About

Ever since middle school, people have asked Thomas Lloyd the same question repeatedly. "If I had a dime for every time I was asked, 'Why am I so gay?' I could probably pay for one credit at Georgetown." In this humorous talk, Lloyd explores the intricacies of social "covering" as a gay man, finding community and the importance of identity ownership.
