Description

This article was written by David Lyons Jr., the co-chairman of the One in Ten Working Group. He writes in response to an October 4th letter titled, "Living a Lie Not the Answer". He states that gay youth are two to three times more liekly to attempt suicide than heterosexual youth and this is because society doesn't allow them to be themselves. It also talks of the One in Ten's success in helping over 40 self-identified queer youth.
