When we got the proofs back from this photo shoot, I spent a lot of time staring at this picture. I'm positive there will never be a more perfect shot of every single personality in this group of people. Laughter, love, friendship, support and family. That's what this picture depicts and it's exactly what our organization is about...starting with the leadership.
Every person in this picture has a story. Not all of the stories are pretty, but they've all led us to find this place of love, support and acceptance. There are far too many kids in the LGBTQ+ community who don't have that and don't know where to go to find it. We're stepping up to start to be a solution to that problem. Whether it's a support group, a class teaching how to balance a bank account or apply for a job, a place for someone to do homework, get some basic necessities or even just a place to come talk to someone about silly things and have a homemade meal...that's what we're bringing to the table. We're teaching how to not only love yourself, but how to go out and be the person you needed to someone else. A safe space to be exactly who you are, full of people who accept you, encourage you and support you. We're more than just a room to meet up in...we're a whole home with the family to go along with it.
