I didn’t think I could reach the strength or cardiovascular stamina that it required,” she tells GO. But seeing a queer FDNY lieutenant behind the table at the event put things in perspective. “She looked a lot like me,” Bracaglia says. “And that’s all it took.” Get more on this story at GoMag.com.
