The recent spate of suicides by young people who are lesbian, gay, bi or trans or perceived as such by their peers is heartbreaking. It is also a call to action.

We stand with all those stepping forward in solidarity with LGBT youth against the bashers, the bullies. We add our voices to the chorus telling our beautiful, precious children and teens: "Hang in there. It will get better." But we say something else, too. Our message to the youth, LGBT and straight allies alike, is: Join us in the struggle.
