Early life and America's Next Top Model appearance
Stolz grew up in New York City, [2] and attended The Brearley School in Manhattan. In 2005, she earned a bachelor's degree in government and international politics from Wesleyan University; [3][4] there, Stolz wrote an undergraduate thesis about US foreign policy.[2] After graduating from Wesleyan, Stolz briefly worked in a law firm.[5]
In fall 2005, Stolz was a contestant on Cycle 5 of America's Next Top Model. Stolz, who was open about her sexuality on ANTM, was routinely criticized by some of the show's judges for having a "masculine" appearance. Kim is also known for kissing fellow contestant Sarah Rhoades in the limo. In an interview with the website AfterEllen, Stolz stated: "I think that a lot of people were very quick to merge my sexuality and gender, and that made them scrutinize my masculinity a whole lot more than they would otherwise."[3] Stolz was eventually the ninth contestant eliminated, making it to the final five.[6]
Career
Stolz has an active presence with MTV: she is a video jockey for The Freshman on mtvU and is also an MTV News correspondent. In 2008, she reported extensively on the 2008 Iowa Caucus and interviewed presidential candidates John Edwards and Mike Huckabee.[7][8] Stolz also pursued a career in fashion modeling; soon after she appeared on America's Next Top Model, Stolz was signed with Elite Model Management[9] in New York City. Stolz also had a small role on an episode of the UPN series, Veronica Mars, as part of a challenge win for America's Next Top Model.[3] She has also been featured as one of CoverGirl's Top Models in Action.
She was recently voted as one of the most memorable contestants by AOL Entertainment Canada.[10]
She has also been writing for the Huffington post.

From http://www.gaycenter.org/out Kim Stolz, speaking at the Join the Impact rally at City Hall asks if America is only willing to accept us on their TVs and tivos, but not in the constitution? She also makes a persuasive argument to make no assumptions and ask everyone to join the struggle.
