Executive Director of Zebra Youth Heather Wilkie has lived in Orlando, Florida for 17 years and calls it sort of a “beacon city in the state of Florida… central Florida and Orlando is kind of like a blue dot in the middle of the state. Honestly, central Florida is pretty welcoming. But go outside of the tri-county area, or even in some of the rural areas outside of Orlando, it’s not as supportive — and the youth know that.” For Heather, who works to make sure LGBTQ young people in central Florida feel supported, community means everything. Zebra Youth, an…

Vitriolic and hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ+ people (and trans people, specifically) is amplified every day, and young people are watching. Pride can be a party,…

Fashion is about so much more than what we wear. It has the power to change the narrative, to push society forward, to help us recognize ourselves.  In celebration of Pride, The Trevor Project set out to tell a story requested by many of the LGBTQ+ young people building community on TrevorSpace, our safe space social networking site: the fashion history of the LGBTQ+ community.
