Members from Youth Pride Services and other LGBT youth programs in Chicago are looking to take a delegation for the first time ever to the Gay Men's Health Summit that is being held in conjunction with the 2012 International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., July 20-23.
A host of activities, such as workshops and panels, is planned for the summit. According to the summit's website ( www.gmhs2012.org ), workshops include "Finding Mr. Right, Not Mr. Perfect," "Introduction to Leather" and "Say It Loud! I'm Black, Gay and Proud!," among many others.
Local youths are looking for businesses, individuals and others to consider becoming a sponsor to offset the remaining $500 needed to cover 10 youth in the Chicago delegation by July 10. For more information, email youthpridecenter@gmail.com .
