I’m a person who needs simple truths to help me unravel complex situations. I left staff because of a simple truth: In any conversation about LGBTQ people in YL, the starting point is exclusion. I’ve served in YL as a volunteer, a staff person, and for the last year of my time on staff as a member of the National Healthy Sexuality Task Force; a small group of people far more important than me, designed to address a few different sexuality topics and how they play out in the mission.
