Hopefully one day soon a camp like this will not be needed. These kids should be able to live an open life like strait kids. But for now, it's a start.

@liveinmymusic Be proud!! You don't need camp just know who you are and know you are not alone!! You got a lot of guts and people eventually will respect that. I already do!

How sad is it that we are living in a world where we have to be put in a special camp so that we can feel good about ourselves and not be harassed. How bout we stick the ignorant in a camp and force them to learn tolerance.
