Safe Spaces for LGBTQ Adults and Youths

On this edition of OutCasting on Sprouts, we talk about the importance of safe spaces for LGBTQ people, particularly youth. OutCasting youth participant Lauren talks with Gabby Rivera, an author who at the time of this interview was also the Youth Programs Manager at GLSEN, the Gay/Lesbian/Straight Education Network, an organization that advocates for policies that benefit LGBTQ youth and provides materials and assistance to local GSAs or people who want to start them. Also joining us is Dr. Vinnie Pompei, the director of the Youth Well-Being Project at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. HRC is a major civil rights organization working on behalf of LGBTQ people.

Featuring:

Gabby Rivera, formerly of GLSEN; Dr. Vinnie Pompei of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
