Florida Agenda

The Pride Center at Equality Park and the Sunshine Cathedral are joining together to participate in a nationwide call for vigils and marches for LGBT suicide victims and anti-bullying initiatives. The two are collaborating to present a communitywide event scheduled for October 11, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. to be held at the Sunshine Cathedral, 1480 SW 9th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Your presence and prayers can make a powerful statement. 9 out of 10 LGBT youth report being verbally harassed at school; 44% say they have been physically harassed; 22% report having been assaulted; and 60% say it is useless to report abuse because they don’t trust that anyone will actually help to protect them.
