    this has been the major support group for the LBGTQ community for decades. My cousin helped found the gay rights movement (and the women's rights movement) here in NJ, in the mid-60's. I am, as they say, "straight but not narrow."

    Back in 1993 or so, I set up a gay rights talk at a Barnes & Noble in the area, through my Amnesty International group. The speaker was the first openly gay teacher in NJ. His partner was the man who founded the gay rights movement within Amnesty International. We became friends and later we all marched in Stonewall '94 in NYC.

    I have heard too many stories of young LBGTQ folks lost in misery and depression.

    I hope all folks who have had these issues can reach out for some support and come to know that they are respected and loved.
