That's So Gay Exhibit

That's So Gay: Portraits of Youth with LGBT Parents was envisioned and created by the first year of the COLAGE Youth Leadership and Action Program. The first exhibit of its kind, That's So Gay includes images, text, and art by youth with LGBT parents that attempt to provide a glimpse into the lives and experiences of children of queer families.

Artist Statement: We want to open minds, challenge stereotypes, and fight isolation. We're making a statement and establishing a trend of tolerance. These works of art are an expression of our work as a group and of our experiences as children of LGBT parents. Perhaps by seeing our faces and learning about our experiences, the next time someone hears "That's So Gay" they'll think of us and all of the people that homophobia and prejudice affect.
