PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
60 SECOND PSA
THE STATISTICS ON GAY AND LESBIAN YOUTH ARE ALARMING. DID YOU KNOW
THAT 50% OF ALL GAY AND LESBIAN YOUTH REPORT THAT THEIR PARENTS
REJECT THEM DUE TO THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION? GAY, LESBIAN AND
BISEXUAL YOUTH MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 40% OF ALL HOMELESS YOUTH
FOR THIS REASON. LGBTQ YOUTHS FACE MANY ISSUES IN THEIR EVERYDAY
LIVES, FROM BULLYING TO LACK OF SUPPORT IN THEIR HOUSEHOLDS AND
COMMUNITIES. HERE AT THE HUDSON VALLEY GAY AND LESBIAN CENTER WE
HOPE TO CHANGE THESE STATISTICS. OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE
AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE; WE OFFER SUPPORT GROUPS,
EVENTS AND REFERRALS TO OTHER RESOURCES AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS.
HOWEVER, WE CANT DO THIS ALONE. WE NEED YOUR HELP. BECOME AN ALLY
AND HELP TO MAKE THE WORLD A SAFER PLACE FOR ALL YOUTH. FOR MORE
