Boston GLASS, a program of JRI, hosts “Bridging the Divide between LGBTQ youth & LGBTQ youth of color”

This will be a forum with a panel of diverse youth community members and two youth moderators. The panel will address a number of issues with in the LGBTQ youth community such as “clicks,” homophobia within the gay community, transphobia, race, social status, white privilege, male privilege, programming for youth services and the stigma of HIV/AIDS.  We will allot 30-45 minutes at the end of the panel to go over action items for the things we discuss.

A brunch featuring pancakes, bacon (turkey/pork), eggs, french toast, home fries, and fruit will also be served.  It will be great home cooked food, so come ready to eat and discuss the future of LGBTQ youth!
