Greetings!
Hey, It's Ju, True Colors' GSA Coordinator with some updates you will want to check out. 
It has been a heck of a year so far! Let's take a look back at what has happened in the past month: Students from GSA's all over the state joined in a discussion about labels at the CT Youth Forum which True Colors helped plan; current GSA's connected with one another while new ones formed; laughter was on overload at the Sean Saves the World premiere in the True Colors office; Mentors and Mentees met at the Bushnell Theater for the Connecticut Forum on Coming Out, and True Colors' first summit of the year kicked off!
There are tons more events happening! Take a look at these coming up and stay tuned for more. (Watch your email for our 20th Anniversary holiday celebration coming up in early December! You won't want to miss that!)

Casting Gay Athlete for MTV
 TRUE LIFE: I'M A GAY ATHLETE Is being gay affecting your game? Is your love for sports interfering with the love of your life? Is your desire to be the MVP keeping you from coming out to your coaches and teammates for fear of losing their acceptance? Are you worried that embracing who you are will keep you from getting an award or scholarship? Is your boyfriend or girlfriend tired of keeping your relationship a secret to keep you team captain? Maybe you're open about your sexuality but still feel discriminated on the court. Is being a gay athlete keeping you on the bench? Are you putting aside your feelings "for the good of the team?"
If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 24 and want to share the struggles and triumphs of being an athlete within the LGBT community, email us at [email protected] to be considered for an episode of MTV's True Life produced by Emmy-award winning Gigantic! Productions. Tell us why we should draft you and be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a recent picture of yourself. |
