A friend of mine said I would be a good activist. But I didn't want to seem like an idiot so I didn't ask her what it ment but what is an activist? Is it a career I googled it but I couldn't get a grip of what it means? Could you give an example?

Thanks, Love.... :)

You're gay and you don't know what an activist is?

I'm ashamed.

An activist is someone who publicly speaks out about the status quo and puts into action steps to solve the problem.
