Do you know and understand the history of the Gay Rights Movement? We will also explore what youth are experiencing in today’s political and community environment. We will learn the ‘lingo’ and gain an understanding of personal identity development, the coming out process, and examine supportive steps you can take to help youth in your care and community.
