NYC LGBT Youth Vigil



Click on the thumbnail above to see the whole album.

Last night in Washington Square Park in New York City, thousands gathered to let LGBT youth know that they are loved. There has been a rise in suicides among teens who have been bullied excessively because they are or have been labeled as gay or lesbian. Governor Patterson was there with us in the cold rain and let us know that he is standing with us to get anti-bullying laws to include LGBT youth. Cheyenne Jackson closed out the vigil by leading the crowd in a heartfelt version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
