Baltimore GLCCB planning gay youth drop-in
”Youth are coming out at a lot younger ages…. It is becoming less stigmatizing, but there are still a lot of challenges. It is still very difficult to come out in high school. Ideally the community center would be the central focal point for after-school programming for youth.”
Andrew Ansel of the Baltimore Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center (GLCCB) on the increasing need for a place in that area where teens and tweens can get information. (Baltimore Sun)
