Previous speakers include activist Dan Savage who kicked off the 2012-13 Lyceum season on Sept. 27. Savage is widely read throughout the world, and is a leading voice on various LGBT issues. He made headlines in 2010 by launching the “It Gets Better” project on YouTube, in which gay adults offer words of encouragement and their own stories of coming out.
