Stand Up to Youth Suicide: Rally in San Francisco October 8


GSA NETWORK is co-sponsoring this Rally and March to Focus on LGBT Youth Suicide and Homelessness on Friday, Oct. 8th.

Being young and gay in much of the United States too often results in homelessness or suicide. A rally and candlelight march in San Francisco on Friday, October 8, is planned to bring awareness to what some have called an epidemic.

The rally at Civic Center will begin at 6:30 pm, followed by a candlelight march to Harvey Milk Plaza at 7:30.

The event is being organized by:

Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons, and will features speakers from The Trevor Project, Soulforce, Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Equality California, Affirmation, and several of the people appearing in the recent documentary film "8: The Mormon Proposition," according to Robert Moore, Director of Outreach and Advocacy for Affirmation.
