Kicked Out? Drop In.

The article relates the decision of the author and his group of friends to open an LGBTQ drop-in program which aims to help gay youths through social programming and support groups in Wisconsin. At first they established the center in a two-bedroom apartment in Milwaukee to help youths deal with rejection. The author is now director of youth services at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center where he runs Project Q. In his six years of operation they have supported people from all walks of life: from valedictorians and suburbanites to prostitutes. The program provides a safe environment to GLBT youth. (Author)
