During the month of September over half a dozen LGBTQ youth, unable to bear the brunt of constant bullying, committed suicide, or, were attacked and injured.
Stonewall's October meeting will instead be a community town hall co-hosted by QVegas Magazine to tackle this issue and to let our youth know "It Gets Better".
We will be joined by:
Congresswoman Dina Titus
State Senator David Parks
A Statement From Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid
Nevada State Democrat Party chairman Sam Lieberman
Cindy Reid (Wife of Gubernatorial Candidate Rory Reid)
Kristine Kuzemka Justice of The Peace Candidate
Kelly MacFarlane-Smith QVegas Magazine
Candice Nichols Gay & Lesbian Center of Southern Nevada
Mel Goodwin Gay & Lesbian Center of Southern Nevada
Karen Grayson Stonewall Director of Transgender Outreach
Adan Campos MECHA
Nathaniel Phillipps GLSEN & Stonewall Director of Youth Outreach
Malory Cyr Activist
Xuan Carlos Espinoza-Cuellar Writer & Activist
J.Son Dinant of Qvegas Magazine
Eliza Naomi Abrams from Green Valley High School will perform a monologue from the Laramie Project.
Coree Davis also from Green Valley High School will perform “Kiss The Air”.
We hope you can join us and provide input to help us put an end to the bullying and the hurt and start the healing. You’ll also be able to make your own “It Gets Better” video to give encouragement to kids everywhere.
Any questions? lvstonewalldems@gmail.com
