I just got back from a conference at the University of Connecticut Storrs campus where they just had a conference on LGBT youth. The first day, Thursday, was for professionals such as guidance counselors, social workers, DCF, GSA’s, etc. Friday and Saturday are open to the public and on Friday, they must have had close to 2,000 students, GSA advisor, guidance counselors and teachers there.
