In the 11 months since Gina Duncan became president of Orlando's gay chamber of commerce, the group has increased its membership from 162 to nearly 250, opened its first headquarters, taken a seat at the table with other chambers of commerce, and expects to host the state's largest Come Out with Pride event ever on Saturday.
It's been a remarkable transformation by a person who is, herself, a remarkable transformation.
For 50 years, Gina Duncan was Greg Pinkston. Duncan, now 55, is the first transgender person to lead a gay organization in Central Florida.
