There are amazing people around the world doing amazing things, and today, this thought fills me with joy. I came across this Facebook post and felt the need to re-post the information on this blog.
Zaruhi Shushanyan is an LGBT activist in Armenia and, I'm sad to say, I don't know her. But I do know another Armenian LGBT activist, Lilit Poghosyan, who is the Programmes and Policy Officer at ILGA-Europe. Originally from Armenia, she's now based in Brussels. I was lucky and happy to have met her during her recent visit back home in Yerevan.

A little bit about Lilit Poghosyan (also re-posted here from Art Mika's blog): http://gayarmenia.blogspot.com/2009/03/armenian-human-rights-activist-lilit.html
Two amazing woman I'm very proud of, and today, they have inspired me. Thank you.
