You've just finished mid-terms.  Maybe you've dropped some classes. 
Take a break.  You deserve it.  Come by after Carrott Top.  It'll still
be going.

The party is being thrown by the Atlanta chapter of "Straight but not
Narrow" (Straight People in Support of Gay and Lesbian Rights) and the
now-forming Georgia Tech chapter of SBNN. Co-sponsored by The Wesley
Foundation Methodist Ministry and The Gay and Lesbian Alliance of
Georgia Tech.

=========================================================
                     Georgia Tech's
                 GAY AND LESBIAN ALLIANCE

          is proud to announce the screening of

                        GAY YOUTH
                a Pam Walton documentary
        followed by an open forum with Atlanta PFLAG,
       Parents, Family, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays

              Because someone you care about
               is gay, lesbian, or bisexual,
              whether you realise it or not.


              Tuesday, February 11th at 7pm
        in the Georgia Tech Student Center Theatre.


A large turnout is expected, so we recommend you arrive early.

Gay and lesbian youth are at great risk in our culture: the
Report on Youth Suicide, commissioned by the US Department
of Health and Human Services in 1989, found that of all
suicides committed in the United States each year by people
between the ages of 15 and 24, up to 30% are by gay and
lesbian youth. This group of young people suffers extreme
isolation and is especially vulnerable to drug and alcohol
abuse, homelessness, and physical and verbal violence.
"Gay Youth" has been called a "milestone" -- it breaks the
silence surrounding adolescent homosexuality in a way that
is both powerful and accessible. It contrasts the suicide
of 20-year old Bobby Griffith with the remarkable life of
17-year old Gina Gutierrez. The documentary shows that information,
acceptance and support can make enormous differences in the
lives of these young people. "Gay Youth" is used by the
Department of Education in Massachusetts as the centerpiece
of its Safe Schools Program, and it has been broadcast by
the following PBS stations: KBDI, Denver; KQED, San Francisco;
KCET, Los Angeles; WHYY, Philadelhia; WGBY, Springfield;
KEET, Eureka; KCPT, Kansas City; WTVS, Detroit; KSPS, Spokane;
KPBS, San Diego; KBTC, Tacoma.
