Dreams of Hope’s Queer Youth Advisory Council is excited to present the Queer Futures Forum: Living Our Dreams. QYAC is a leadership development program for queer and trans young people. We've been meeting since February and talking about how we want to support the community right now. We came up with the Queer Futures Forum as a space to understand issues that queer people are facing in Pittsburgh and talk about strategies to build a Pittsburgh where we are free! This intergenerational event is a space for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages to share their thoughts, desires, and needs with the community. We'll provide helpful resources and work together to create a future that radically supports and loves queer and trans people.
