SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Youth and the Internet
DESCRIPTION:According to the 2023 LGBTQ+ Youth Report conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation\, more than two-thirds of LGBTQ+ youth participate in online communities specifically to engage with other LGBTQ+ people in their age group. Virtually all LGBTQ+ youth\, as well as transgender or gender-expansive youth\, have used the internet to find information that helps them understand their LGBTQ+ identity. Unfortunately\, roughly half of all LGBTQ+ youth have experienced cyberbullying based on their identity. \nOn Thursday June 20th\, FOSI hosted an evening virtual webinar discussion\, where we heard opening remarks from FOSI’s Jonathon Bridgeman\, before Ellen Kahn (Human Rights Campaign Foundation) presented key findings from HRC’s report. Ellen then lead a discussion featuring two teens and their parents who shared how they safely navigate the Internet\, what tools and resources they use to connect to the LGBTQ+ community online\, and how they keep themselves and their communities safe. \n
