At the Youth Pride Party at the Zach Gordon Youth Center, young people said there's a need in Juneau for more LGBTQ+ events and spaces specifically for them.
It’s one of the events that kicks off Pride Month in Juneau. About 65 kids showed up on June 4 with pride flags painted across their faces or draped over their shoulders. There were games and dancing through the rainbow balloon arch at the front door.
“I think it is important to acknowledge that the general messaging in the world right now is not super inclusive to trans youth, in particular,” Shae said. “And even if it doesn’t directly impact these kids, like even if the trans kids we’re seeing are not in sports or whatever, that is still super harsh messaging to hear.”Lee Orozco came to the party with a nonbinary heart sticker on their face.
