GR 33 Writer Ronni Sanlo shares her story
I discovered Ronni Sanlo through her long running blog series about LGBT history and I am excited to have her as a guest on Graying Rainbows. Ronni was one of many LGBT parents who lost custody of her children due to Anita Bryant's homophobic campaign in the late 1970's. She shares how her experience led her into activism and continues to influence her writing.
