PHS Safe Space Allies
|
Coming Out and dealing with homophobia in society, families and friendship-circles can be daunting. Below you'll find, in no particular order, a group of folks here at PHS who recognize that and would like to support you. They would like you to feel free to come to them in person or email them as you feel comfortable. As the GSA Advisor, I can attest that each one listed is a great person, resource, and ally. Those with an asterisk by their name have chaperoned the Boston Youth Pride March, were a member while they attended PHS, or advised the group in the past, that's how cool they are.
