Pride Comics Donates Comics to YES (Youth Empowerment Summit) in SF!
posted November 22nd, 2006
[Print-ready Version]
SAN FRANCISCO - On Saturday, November 18, 2006, Pride Comics handed out 150 free copies of their comic, Pride High, at the Youth Empowerment Summit (YES) in San Francisco, organized by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network.
The summit was a free Bay Area conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, and straight ally youth dedicated to fostering safe schools and youth activism, focusing on giving youth organizers tools to combat homophobia and transphobia in schools. An estimated 350 middle and high school students from across California attended the event, which included workshops on gay-straight alliances in religious high schools, transgender inclusion, zine creation, and the history of LGBT activism.
"Meeting kids as young as thirteen who were out and proud, was simply amazing. We'll definitely be here next year," says Tommy Roddy, writer of Pride High. Blake Curia, creator of the upcoming Pride High spin-off The Dropouts was also in attendance, along with Pride Comics volunteer Desmond Miller. Together, they gave away over 150 free copies of Pride High #1 to the kids who inspired the comic book in the first place.
Visit www.gsanetwork.org for more information about the summit and www.pridecomics.com for more information about Pride High and other publications by Pride Comics.
