In Breaking Through, openly LGBT elected officials at all levels -- including the first gay US Senator, Tammy Baldwin -- share their stories of self- doubt and triumph over multiple barriers ranging from race and poverty to gender and sexual orientation, revealing a deeply personal, rarely-seen side of politicians and gay people.
Though featuring politicians, it isn't about politics: it's about people who feel fear and shame, yearning to live meaningful lives. They reveal how they broke through barriers internally - daring to believe something different than what they were told - and externally to achieve the future they envisioned. By showing that "anything is possible," they impact people from all walks of life.
