We Are The Youth is a project attempting to capture stories of LGBT youth in America through photography. [1] [2] [3] This project was started by Diana Scholl and Laurel Golio in 2010, when they photographed a PFLAG Gay Prom. [4] [5] Photos from We Are The Youth are available as an online archive of LGBT youth on their website as well as in book form in We Are the Youth: Sharing the Stories of LGBTQ Youth in the United States, [6] [7] which received a top ten spot on the American Library Association Rainbow Book List in 2015. [8] Work from the project has also been displayed at the Silver Eye Center for Photography in Pittsburgh in 2014 [9] and at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York in 2012. [10]
People photographed as part of the project range in age from 12 to 21. [11]
