A recent article in the Dallas Voice tells the stories of gay youth in the Dallas region who have found hope and love in a local support group. The group is sponsored by Youth First Texas, and it provides young people 23 years old and under a safe place to express themselves. Explains one participant:
“They are very – I don’t know how to explain it,” said Cristobal Lopez, 18, who has attended Youth First, for about eight months. “They’re like family to me, I guess, because I connect better with the adults here than anyone in my house at all.”
If only we had self-affirming places like this for our gay youth all across the country...
