“I am so proud to be honored by an organization as vital to our LGBTQ youth as GLSEN,” Marc said.  “Our work at OutCasting brings together the different threads of my life, and I’m very fortunate to be able to provide an environment for today’s youth that could have done so much good for me when I was young.  It’s unbelievably rewarding.”
