I have seen first hand youth’s role in these changes and understand that we are powerful and effective method to create the change we want to see in the world.

Hello, I am Lindsay. I am a young bi/pan/queer youth trying to figure my place out in the world. As a college graduate without a long-term job I am hopping around the world making changes along the way. Clearly I struggle with finding my place and language I am comfortable learning but I embrace my ongoing process and transformation into this world.

In the beginning of 2010 I went on the SoulForce Equality Ride, where I dealt with issues of religion and sexuality in private colleges and universities around the country. While traveling I challenged and others’ views on sexuality, gender, race, class and worldviews all the while continuing to shape my own views as well.

On a more personal level, I have struggled with finding a community that I feel fully comfortable with. Uneasy with terminology and struggling with my feminist politics, I understand why individuals, queer and straight alike, have trouble navigating the LGBT ‘scene’. However, I have not shied away: I feel that there is room to make communities better and you just have to have the strength in yourself to help make that change. All and all, I am passionate about the community, social justice, feminism, the right to comprehensive sex education, LGBTIQ equality, and youth rights.
