ORIGIN STORY:

Launched as a part of Spirit Day 2020, "Queer Youth Fest” started as week-long series of virtual "festival" events highlighting the role of art in queer/trans resilience. This series of events was designed and planned by our Youth Committee. Our first "Queer Youth Fest" celebration was a lively event featuring Pose actress, Cecilia Gentili.
