Liamson Times: LGBTQ Youth

== LGBTQ+ Youth speak out against discrimination ==
Kenneth Aragones | 6:57 PM | November 21, 2014
In this day and age, the fact that discrimination is still an ongoing problem should not be ignored. This is what the youth leaders and volunteers of Love For All are calling attention to in their latest call to action.
"We've come a long way from the past," says volunteer Freya de Leon, "but there's still a lot of work to do before we can say we've achieved equality."
The country is said to be one of the LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the continent, but same-sex marriage is still out of the picture. Gay characters are still often the butt of jokes in media, and questioning youth often do not feel safe enough to come out.
"We're trying our best to foster a safe and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ youth," says another volunteer, Diego Divinagracia. "We're trying to do our best to stick together and protect each other."
The Love For All group are collecting donations and recruiting members. You may reach them at loveforallyouth@email.com.
