Local Vancouver radio personality Jonny Staub from The Beat 94.5 has sent us his support for the project! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jonny a few times and he is truly a fantastic person. Last year I even managed to catch a flick at the Vancouver Queer Film Festival with him and his boyfriend.
“After 14 years of a successful broadcasting career, I have always found that the one common bond that binds us together is compassion within the human connection. The ability to look outside of ourselves, our comforts, our beliefs, our self vision and take a glimpse at what’s really going on out there. By doing so, we not only allow our spirits to flourish, but our understanding of the world grow leaps and bounds.
The Diversity Project not only achieves this with the documentary’s core belief, but it also takes it a step further. By putting it in the hands of our youth, the next generation shaping our landscape, we are in fact planting seeds of hope for a fantastic future. We are all important, we are all worthy, we are all loved. Gay/Straight/Bi/Trans we were born this way! Through excellent documentaries like this, we have hope that humanity has a fighting chance moving forward."
