Gina Duncan transforms Orlando's gay chamber and pride event

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.
