The film explores hate-crimes legislation and the educational process since the murder of Matthew Shepard. Greg is also a National writer of the LGBT website, Meefers.com, writing about his travels, stories growing up gay and local Chicago business reviews that are LGBT inclusive. Greg’s compassion, positive energy, stories and wealth of information have left many people motivated to change their lives and be the voice of change in their own communities .
When did you join the CGLCC? I joined to network and support the CGLCC in their work in the community. I wanted to meet other LGBTQ folks who are making a difference in great Chicago with their business and being part of the larger, inclusive community that we live in and try to improve everyday.
What motivated you to join? I saw the booth at Market Days last year and it sparked my interest to support this organization and be even more part of the community. This is a unique group and I wanted to be involved as much as I can locally and nationally.
Has the chamber helped grow your business? If so, how? Since most of my work is on a national scale, the chamber has helped me locally in meeting new people and networking what I am doing as a lecturer and advocate. It has also helped me in spreading the word about the exciting documentary that I have been working on since November in 2007 that all began in Laramie, WY.
