My experience opened my eyes to the work it took to get us here and to what glorious heights we will reach together.&quot; </b><br /> <a href="/realworld/jd">-JD Ordonez</a> </p> <p> <b>&quot;We were thrilled to host these terrific young people who found themselves in our city to participate in this groundbreaking show. The Real World has a long and rich history of including LGBT people and people with HIV as cast members, and we are proud to be part of &quot;Real World: Brooklyn's&quot; success. However, the best part for us was having three terrific people, who care about the LGBT community; bring their enthusiasm and spirit to the Center. We were so moved to see each of them leave the Center with the knowledge that they had made a profound contribution to our programs and services.&quot; </b><br /> -Richard Burns, Executive Director of The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual &amp; Transgender Community Center<br /> </p>
