Describe the challenge you want to address:

The 2 problems I see here in Uptown NY is (1) Young people are not seen as individual people and are lumped together into categories. I have seen a lot of evidence proving this; (2) A few people (a variety, not just old white people) don't understand LGBTQ+ and associate them with the worst stuff. Calling someone gay should not be an insult.

What is the solution to the challenge?

I think young people should have places where they are able to express themselves like the People's Theater Project. Just a place to talk, celebrate themselves, and not be judged. There could be multiple parts of this for different types of people, not just youth and LGBTQ people.
