Where to Turn: Queer Youth, Support and Identity
June 23, 1999
Listen/download helpIt's hard enough growing up...but many young people encounter added difficulties with social acceptance and, in some cases, harassment, because they're queer. About one-fourth of all teenage runaways and an equal percentage of homeless youth are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, queer or questioning. On this program, you'll hear from some of these young people. We'll talk with them about their experiences and how they are organizing networks of support.
Featuring:
Leela Chapman and John Badger, Youth Pride, Inc.; Jessie Tebbin, lesbian and student intern; Eloise Magenheim, SF Neighborhood Safety Partnership.
