Queer Monologues: Stories of LBGT Youth, produced by For the Love of Learning (FTLOL), offered queer youth a safe, creative outlet to share their concerns, hopes and personal stories with the community-at-large. If an individual is unable to be themselves, the consequences can be emotional, physical, and mental harm. When feelings are shared within a supportive group and are received non-judgmentally, self-esteem is enhanced, leading to a healthier way of relating to others, oneself, and the community as a whole.
