The Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth invites you to support our Annual Gayla—a vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ youth leadership, resilience, and joy.
At a time when LGBTQ+ youth, particularly transgender and nonbinary young people, are facing unprecedented attacks on their dignity and rights, this gathering is more than a fundraiser: it is a joyful, defiant space of belonging and support.
Your involvement helps ensure that Massachusetts remains a place where LGBTQ+ youth are safe, affirmed, and celebrated.
