About Zach

“I borrow things I like from masculinity and femininity to make the best me. And that’s fluid every day.”

“I always had short hair; it was what you had to do. I grew up in a place where people aren’t encouraged to be different. A more masculine haircut was like truly like a mask.” - Zach

Changing his hair allowed Zach to express his androgyny, and in doing so - his freedom. Zach’s strength is what it means to be #beautifuLGBTQ.
