A Thankyou To Trans & NB Young People Working With LGBTQ Centers ---

[VickySGV]

I am taking advantage of my Moderator / Admin status here to simply say how thankful I am for the younger and up coming people in our community.  I am on the Board Of Directors of an LGBTQ Center, and we had a Pizza and Root Beer Float feed to recognize our volunteers as we begin a Fall program year.  The people that showed up today turned out to be the ones running the programs for the late teen and young adult programs that are getting back to In Person meetings after this group had been part of an online version of their special support group meetings.  I was the oldest person there, however I was keeping my mouth shut and ears open.  It was fun listening to both the very real and thoughtful understanding, and appreciation of what is going on in our world, but also the goals and willingness to learn how to make our communities better.  I sensed hope coming from the folks I got to know, and that is going to be important.  LGBTQ youth are NOT destroyers of our social orders, nor are they out to convert anyone to being Trans/NB.  I am happier to think of the future that I will not see, with all of you in it.
