LGBTQ+ youth deserve to be protected!
Advocacy isn't a movement based on convenience.
It is about standing up when others back down. It is about lifting the voices of those who are unable to do so.
LGBTQ+ youth are two times more likely to be sex trafficked. Yet, they were easily written off.

Did you know that in NY it is legal to s**ually assault someone who was willingly drunk?
This statement may seem extreme. But it’s true.
New York laws specify “involuntary intoxication,” which excludes “voluntary intoxication.”

New York law fails to protect survivors of sexual violence due to a dangerous loophole known as the Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion.
This gap in the law enables perpetrators to avoid accountability and escape justice based on how a victim became intoxicated
