Yves St. Laurent, today’s video icon for GLBT History
Month, is a fashion designer “renowned for creating innovative trends
that continue to influence style.” St. Laurent was bullied and harassed in

realized that dream at age 21, when Christian Dior h...ired him after viewing
his work. St. Laurent eventually branched out and became a huge success, and

someone who is being bullied or harassed because of sexual orientation and/or
gender identity/expression?Read More
