Dear peopleoftheweb,
Last Wednesday (September 12th, 2012), I went to orientation at Montrose Counseling Center. Montrose Counseling Center is a center that helps the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community in Houston, TX. I was excited because, even though I am heterosexual, everyone deserves the right to express themselves in their own sexual preference. At the orientation I learned many valuable things about the community as well as some upcoming events that I am going to help work on. The first event is on October 6th entitled "Love Your Block" in which the Montrose counseling center will improve the landscaping around their block. I hope to be helping weekly with the outreach program in which people help send information about the LGBT community and also help make condom packs for a safer and STD free LGBT community. Personally, I think people need to be more aware of their community. Being a student at the University of St. Thomas, we are in the middle of Montrose and thus in the middle of the LGBT community in Houston. We owe is to ourself to be informed about the community we are around most of the day. I am excited about getting to know more and getting other people informed about this community. At the end of this experience, I hope to help make a difference in LGBT youth, be more informed, and get other people informed about what is going on around them in the Montrose area.
Thanks for Reading!
