Some folks are sending in photographs of their #ProtectTransKids yard signs with their holiday decorations. One person, bottom row, second from the right, organized their decor around the sign itself.

Please feel free to send your own images to PLC folx@pghlgbtq.org

We have ordered 1150 yard signs to date, since late June. There are still some available if you would like one. Fill out the form at bit.ly/ProtectTransKidsSigns You can also request stickers and pens.

We will continue to produce and distribute as long as there are requests and donations.

The Holiday Gift Card Drive for LGBTQ Students is also going well. We have over 320 students, ages 12–21, enrolled. If you have LGBTQ youth in your program or school whom you’d like to enroll, you can do so. And we definitely appreciate donations of all gift cards. We will put them to use.

Here’s my gift card drive story circa 2005.

I was coordinating a drive for youth in foster care. I went to pick up donations and speak to a group at a small church. Toward the end of the service, a man rushed in quite hastily and clearly out of breath. He approached me and handed me a gift card to a local drug store chain, almost sheepishly. I assured him it would much appreciated by someone.
