Speak Out for Lgbtq+ Youth Planned for March 11, 2020

Speak Out for Lgbtq+ Youth Planned for March 11, 2020 | Newtown News of Interest | Scoop.it
[Newtown Township Supervisors voted 3-2] AGAINST a resolution to celebrate and uplift LGBTQ+ youth on Love Is Love Day, which was proposed in solidarity with Planned Parenthood Rainbow Room's first ever Love Is Love: A Queer Prom for All, held for the first time in its 18 year history on February 15, 2020.
 
Newtown youth were part of the sold out spectacular prom - some of over 150 youth from 57 different schools who danced the night away in celebration of their diversity, community and LGBTQ+ pride.
 
ALL are invited to show up and speak OUT, to let these elected officials and the community know that they cannot quietly vote against LOVE and support for our LGBTQ+ youth, and then expect to get away with it. Their vote against this simple resolution of support sends a dangerous message to our LGBTQ+ youth AND to all youth.
