Greetings,
On behalf of the Youth Pride Alliance, I’d like to welcome you to the 19th Annual Youth Pride Day. It’s hard to believe Youth Pride Day is 19 years old. For nearly two decades, Youth Pride Day has been an event where GLBTQ youth and their allies can learn about their community, as well as be a place to enjoy the day and just be themselves.
I would like to extend a special thank you to all our sponsors, advertisers, exhibitors, and volunteers for 2015. Without their support and participation, Youth Pride Day couldn’t happen.
We’d love to see you get more involved in Youth Pride Day and the Youth Pride Alliance, as we’re always looking for new ideas and help. As you celebrate this year, remember that there are others too frightened or closeted to join us. It has been the Youth Pride Alliance’s goal to ensure that every youth regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity has the right to live, to love, and to be loved.
Happy Pride,
Paul Marengo
Chair, Youth Pride Day 2015
