Community to Stand Up to Bullying

Ogden OUTreach is hosting “A Community Stands up – Northern Utah Addresses LGBT Bullying and Suicide.” It will take place at 6:30 p.m. May 1 at the Ogden Amphitheater, 343 E 25th St. The purpose of the event is for the community to stand in solidarity with (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) LGBT youth, to speak out and express grief and outrage at yet another loss of life in Northern Utah and to witness for the need for immediate change in schools, churches and society.
