| The Lost Moon of Poosh Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Bisexual Out Status: All but family Location: Maryland, USA Age: 15 Posts: 204 Join Date: Jun 2011 |  Appoint an Advisor on LGBT Youth Issues I'm not sure if a thread about this has already been created yet, but I found out about this petition to appoint a White House advisor on LGBT youth issues. With all the suicides that are happening because of bullying, the most recent suicide being Jamie Hubley  , I feel like this would be a great idea to help stop bullying are discrimination in public and private schools in the USA. What are your opinions on this petition? Petition: www.wh.gov/4wZ

Do we have an adviser over other youth issues?

While I do think it is a good idea to have some sort of outreach, you can't really have a specific designation since gay youth are not the only ones that are bullied

---------- Post added 23rd Oct 2011 at 07:45 PM ---------- Is there an advisor for youth issues in general? If not, maybe that should come first.
