Black LGBTQ+ Youth Need Spaces That Embrace Them Fully, Researchers Say

Glad to see this highlighted this year, providing visibility to unique intersectional identities and the problems they face is really useful to help others understand the struggles they go through and ways in which they can help.
- Well after reading the article (not the studies), it's still not really clear to me how we can help
  
  You have their families which are largely negative. I guess education and trying to wane them off religion might help, but that's just a guess and doesn't even touch how to go about it
  
  Secondly they claim lgbtq++ organisations are not welcoming black people, but there's no indication of which mechanisms are in play there
For anyone affected in the NoLa area, House of Tulip recently blipped across my radar.
