WASHINGTON -- Submissions for the White House Office of Public Engagement LGBT Pride Month Champions of Change Video Challenge are due this Friday, May 4, and citizens are encouraged to submit videos exploring the stories of the unsung heroes and local leaders of the LGBT movement.

"Across the country, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things to improve the lives of the LGBT community," a statement issued by the White House said. "They are parents and students, neighborhood and business leaders, artists and advocates, all united in the fight for equality."
