The great news is that The New York Times Magazine did a major
feature on middle-school youth coming out! It's exciting to see prominent
national-profile media recognize the issues LGBTQQ youth -- and really YOUNG
youth -- are facing in their schools and in their lives. I'm also
happy to say that Outlet is in the article (via two quotes from my interview
with article author Benoir Denizet-Lewis). We do want Outlet to be a voice in this
conversation, and it's significant that our name comes up when The New York
Times is writing about gay youth. But most important of all, our work is
about getting this conversation to be happening -- everywhere! Here's the
link to the article " Coming Out in Middle School": http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/magazine/27out-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp Thanks for all you do to help keep Outlet
such a reliable and viable voice. All the best,  Eileen Ross Director
