Notes

This was a flier for my first LGBT YOUTH Event. I was 16. I was able to explore my identity there for the first time. I wore a mix of gende-red clothes + my friend got a make-up beard. Since then, I've worked at all 3 places that ran it because it made me feel safe. I wanted other people to feel that.
