The nonprofit LYRIC has been serving San Francisco's LGBTQ+ youth for decades- and they say the hate is hitting a high.
Bay Area nonprofit LYRIC held a fundraiser Saturday as more LGBTQ+ families are seeking resources and refuge from discrimination in California.With what's going on around the country, it finds itself busier than ever as more and more people seek a place to turn to express themselves.
"We need to push back against the hundreds of callous and cynical bills and laws introduce in states targeting transgender children," Biden said.The ACLU is tracking nearly 500 bills taking aim at LGBTQ+ rights across the nation. "We've seen a huge uptick in youth and their families, honestly, leaving red states seeking refuge in California and any other blue state," said Laura Lala-Chavez.
But the nonprofit's not backing down. In fact, it's doubling down -- extending itself beyond the Bay Area.
