"My high school has a very active Gay Straight Alliance, but our focus is mostly what we can do for the community, as opposed to what the community can do for us. As a genderqueer 12th grader, there are not many accessible resources near me where I can meet queer kids from other towns, let alone spaces specifically designed to provide programming for queer youth.

"I have loved being a part of the planning of the Mystic LGBTQ+ Youth Support Network. Having a space where I feel supported and where I can openly express myself, whether it be through theater, art, or just conversation, as well as continually learn new things about the queer community, has been truly amazing."
