NAGLY provides gay teens with ways to get involved

http://www.thedailyitemoflynn.com/articles/2008/06/03/news/news04.txtLYNN - Chris Peatridge was a student at Salem High School when he acknowledged his bisexuality and subsequently came out of the closet as a gay teenager.
The revelation cost him friends, but it also led him to the North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth. Like Peatridge, Jill Dion found a roomful of teens with stories similar to hers when she attended her first NAGLY meeting.
"It provides a safe, understanding environment. NAGLY is your stability," said Dion, a Lynn native who grew up in Peabody and Beverly.
