We made it.

Washington, DC is full of many happy and accomplished LGBTQ adults. As teenagers, most of us struggled to imagine a future like this for ourselves. Sure, life isn't always perfect, but it's certainly worth living.

Across the country, countless LGBTQ teens struggle for survival each day. They're bullied and harassed, rejected by their friends and family. They don't realize that a brighter future lies just a few years ahead of them.  They don't realize It Gets Better.

The tragic stories have continued: thirteen-year-old boys in Texas and California, fifteen-year-old boys in Indiana and Minnesota, and an eighteen-year-old in New Jersey. Whether you knew a struggling teenager in high school or were one yourself, these tragedies deserve more than a passing thought.

This weekend is full of happy hours, dance parties, birthday blowouts, a black-tie dinner, and too many after-parties to count. Let's all come together -- members of the LGBTQ community and our allies -- for an event supporting the kids who don't believe their lives will ever be celebrated.

Please join us this Friday at 18th & U Duplex Diner to support The Trevor Project, a phenomenal national organization that provides crisis support and suicide prevention resources to LGBTQ youth.

Your $10 donation at the door will go directly to The Trevor Project and you will receive discounted rail drinks all night, courtesy of 18th & U Duplex Diner.

We hope you'll join us.

sean bartel 10/05/10

Ok, favor to ask: A bunch of friends want to come, but also want to watch the Phillies/Reds game (us midwesterners don't give up our habits). Can Duplex put one of the TVs on the game? I realize how silly this is given the cause, but ... well, we wanna donate, and watch the game, too. smile

Colin Bishop 10/05/10

If it was a Cubs game, I'd be more sympathetic. But I'm sure we can work it out.

Christopher Nulty 10/05/10

Deal. I will personally ensure the game is playing at the bar.

sean bartel 10/06/10

Awesome! Thanks!

Timothy D'Arduini 10/05/10

Thanks Tim!
