On this last day of June, we wrap up a monumental Pride Month.
Did you hear the big news?
Last week, one of our Us, Readers asked how she could support the LGBTQ community, so we rounded up some ideas for her and anyone else who may be wondering.
Some local organizations with great resources for LGBTQ teens (and pre-teens!):
The Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Youth http://www.bagly.org/
Mystic LGBTQ Youth Support Network http://www.queermystic.org/
Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network http://www.glsen.org/
For resources a little closer to home, find out if your school has a Gay-Straight Alliance. If it doesn't, see what you can do about starting one!
Some advice from the GSA Network https://www.gsanetwork.org/get-involved/start-gsa
and from the ACLU https://www.aclu.org/how-start-gay-straight-alliance-gsa
And, of course, there are always books!
(this link is just a selection of what's available -- feel free to ask your librarian for more!)
