“The Queer High School Experience: Advice from QYA Volunteers” – Queer Youth Voices
It may seem hard to overcome the struggles of being queer in school, but Mattie/Dean, one of the Queer Youth Assemble Birthday Card Leads, said, “I wish I had known that it gets easier.

High school has more opportunities than middle school, and that includes better support. It gets better!!”
