STory One: Celebration of Community with RRRS
The community celebration hosted at the Hjemkomst center and with Red River Rainbow Seniors was an absolutely beautiful event. It was a continual celebration of 10 years of marriage equality, but also of the living and shared history of the people in that room.
I'm finally old enough to stop being surprised that I will always find new beauty, wisdom, and awe in the world around me. Today made crystal clear something I've been thinking about for most of this year.
We are the first generation of people to experience a complete queer community. One in which our youth, adults, and elders can all interconnect, learn from, and support each other. And we are all learning what this means. This is new to all of us, on a scale we haven't seen before. And to see elders give support to youth, to me, feels like we are finally starting to heal from decades of loss and trauma. That these generation of kids we see today, can have a life we all fought so desperately for, for so long. That they have generations of us to look up to and get support from.
These last few years I've had the opportunity to speak to so many youth. Sometimes as a role model or mentor, sometimes just to talk to about resources, and to me it's the greatest thing in the world. Truth be told, these kids are already amazing, inspiring, and so much stronger and wiser than I was at their age. I want to do everything I can to help, but usually they don't need much. They just need some assurance there is a future, that people care of about them, and they do matter.
And, truth be told, I'm also just a kid to the elders of our state. And I think about how much I should lean on them, instead of trying to survive and do everything myself, like so many queer youth learn. I see today the capacity to break the generational cycles of trauma so many of us hold in the queer community. We can heal, and breathe, and built something so beautiful together. A future.

STORY two: Sex Eduation May
This month Planned Parenthood is offering several trainings and opportunities for both parents and youth to connect with sexual health education. This education is important to help improve mental health, reduce stigma, and even prevent child sexual abuse.
The better equipped youth are to know about healthy sexual development, the better they can be aware of warning signs or know to talk to an adult when something happens. Sexual development is a normal and natural part of human development, but it can be hard to talk about it within the Midwest especially. The great part about these trainings is you have an expert is is comfortable talking about it and giving people tools to better understand themselves and their body!
