David comments: "I am a role model because I want to continue to raise awareness of the LGBT+ community, as well as the challenges that we continue to face, and educate others on how they can help. It's important to me that LGBT+ rights are represented, protected and promoted in a professional setting, and we all have a role to play in making this happen."
