The Globe and Mail

         The Globe and Mail 2015. One of the people we have interviewed is Stephanie Marquis. She has tried to change the world to be more accepting of LGBT people. She has petitioned and spoken out to people who weren't as accepting of the LGBT community as they are now. During the last year of travelling across the country, she has raised over a million dollars in donations at her talks. These donations fund safe homes for teenagers and children to go to when they feel uncomfortable at home due to homophobia. These homes also provide councillors for anyone to talk to about sexual orientation, advice or troubles. There have been a few homes  built and up and running in Western Canada. Her goal is to keep raising more money for homes and awareness in the USA. A few Christian churches in British Columbia have accepted the LGBT community in joining in on church gatherings. There are many people across the country who support her actions and words and who are also thankful that she has stepped up and tried to make a difference.
