Nebraska educator, Ferial Pearson, is collecting stories of LGBT youth and their allies from around Nebraska to be published. All proceeds from the book will go to GLSEN Omaha and PFLAG (including Proud Horizons and Pride Prom). The book will be called Breaking the Silence.

Here are some things that might help get you started: Talk about what your life has been like. For example, how did you know you were not like other kids? When did you know? Describe times in your life that you might have overcome struggle of any kind...what and/or who got you through it? Why do you think it's important for adults to support LGBT youth? Why are allies important? What will your future be like? And so on.

The deadline is the end of November.

You can submit poetry, as well. Anyone can submit their story as long as they are 13 to 23 years old. Send it as a word attachment to [email protected]
