Affinity—a local non-profit organization that serves Chicago’s Black lesbian and bisexual women’s community—is severing its ties with South Side’s Youth Pride Services/Youth Pride Center (YPS/YPC), which focuses on minority LGBT youth, according to a press release.
The release further stated, “Affinity made this decision due to a misalignment of the principles and values between the two organizations. However, we have informed the youth of YPS/YPC that Affinity will continue to be a resource to them.
The statement also said that youth who were previously in the joint drop-in program of Affinity and YPS/YPC and other youth who qualify for the program can still attend Affinity’s sessions.
