BOSTON — A Boston-based LGBT legal rights advocacy group has set up a new website to provide helpful information to young people in New England about their legal rights in school, sports, work and the juvenile justice system.
Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) set up the website as an educational tool for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive youth.
It is also designed to be helpful for parents, teachers, school administrators and youth workers, and provides links to local youth programs and services in each New England state.
