Inspirational quotes about LGBT rights Kellie Maloney "We don't have a choice. People think we wake up one morning, put a dress on and be a woman. I knew about it when I was very young but I was brought up in a male world and had responsibilities, I was frightened and I wanted to beat it. I didn't want to lose my friends. In the end I was so depressed and so desperate, I tried to commit suicide about three times."

Mac hasn’t given any comment on this as yet, but so far Estee Lauder group president John Demsey seems pretty positive about Caitlyn's cover. He told Page Six : “There's never been someone with that level of celebrity who's ever done something so bold and so visible in public, and it's done very elegantly and glamorously.”
In a new documentary she speaks out about the pressure women are constantly under to look beautiful. "I never had it till a couple weeks ago - had a professional come in and do my make-up. What a difference," he said while applying make-up on in front of a mirror.
In terms of fashion, we can think of Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci, Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier, all who are advocates for LGBT rights and have featured rights and have featured transgender and drag queen models in their campaign and/or catwalks.
