Hey I’m Stephanie, an 18 year old cisgender pansexual from WI. I have a lot of stories and life experiences for my young age. And I want to share them with anyone who is LGBTQ who maybe be struggling in life. So here is my reason for doing this blog. In May of 2010 I met a boy, who changed my life. We met at the GLBT Partnership, a youth group for 14-18 year olds who identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender. I have been a youth leader for the past three year, and I had never met someone so outgoing and loveable then him. His name was Cody and he was gay, but that didn’t matter to me, I saw him for much more then just a gay teenage who loved Lady Gaga. I saw him for his love of people and his drive to make the world a better place for LGBTQ people. He was my best friend for the five month I knew him. We would go shopping and have sleepovers and talk about boys and girls and Lady Gaga. In September nine boy across the U.S took there lives because of anti-gay bullying and harassment, Cody was one of those nine. He took his life on September 13th, and I have missed him every day since. I am here to reach out so any youth who feels alone, know that they have someone out in this world that cares.
Lots of Love
Stephanie
