Yosi Sergant was raised Jewish in Culver City.

Sergant and public relations friends Apple Via and Jennifer Gross, have put together an exhibit with over 200 artists in Hollywood called "Manifest Equality" to demonstrate against Prop 8, and "to turn up the dial on this creative community," he said in a conversation over the phone.

At first I wasn’t sure if it was friendship. Maybe they were just humoring me or passing the time. Why would old people want to be friends with me, a 35-year-old?
