Editors' Note: Guest blogger Greg Varnum is the Executive Director of NYAC, the National Youth Advocacy Coalition.

As news of marriage equality in New Hampshire dominated the headlines, I got word of another story unfolding in New Hampshire that is just as significant, but not likely to get nearly as much attention. Seacoast Outright, a local LGBTQ youth-serving agency serving the New Hampshire area, announced that they might be forced to close their doors by the end of June. Making NH youth the latest victims in a new crisis developing within the LGBTQ community. While marriage equality in NH is fantastic, the youth who may lose their "home" and resources they need are more focused on if they'll ever reach a point where they can actually enjoy that right.
