Description of Submission:  "My drawing represents the rights and freedoms that all gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and trangender citizens should have.  In the hand, there is a charm of two female gender symbols, connected.  This represents the union of two lesbian (or gay, bisexual, or trangender) people.  I also drew two monarch butterflies, representing the same two lesbian women as portrayed by the charms in the hand.  The butterlies symbolize the personifications of true liberty: beautiful creatures that can fly away whenever they wish.  I drew them to symbolize the freedoms that all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people should have in terms of rights, freedoms, and acceptance." - Caroline

Why Karen and Melody Liked It:   We liked the artistry and directness of the drawing.  It's simple but conveys a strong message..
