Todd Forman originally joined the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, chapter of Gay for Good (G4G) because he was looking for something to do, other than going to the bars, to meet people.

He knew the group was a national LGBTQ+ and allied volunteer organization that partners with queer and non-queer service organization to promote queer diversity, foster inclusion, and strengthen ties to the broader community. The group’s camaraderie and friendliness — and the good feeling of giving back through service — kept him coming back to the group, and after a while, he became the group’s co-leader (a position he still holds today).
