Hot Box Topic: On this new episode, in honor of PRIDE MONTH we discuss obstacles Queer Youth face with a LGBQT+ educator Keilani currently supporting Queer Youth. We dive into youth organizing for gender neutral bathrooms at their high school, new expansive language for gender, "trying on" labels, and what's missing in schools and our culture to support QUEER YOUTH EUPHORIA.
