Sexual AssaultThis feature was created by Melissa, a former YouthResource intern Sexual assault is a serious concern among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth. This feature discusses the issues surrounding sexual assault. The articles section discusses topics such as helping a friend who has been sexually assaulted, information on terminology, and a quiz about your knowledge on the issues. There are also articles about male/male sexual violence as well as working to end sexual violence. Our stories section includes a personal piece from a trans survivor, One Kid's Story.
