Transgender activist, author, performance artist and speaker Kate Bornstein stopped by Center on Halsted Nov. 1 after a speaking engagement at Chicago-Kent School of Law. Perhaps most famous for her book Gender Outlaw, much of Bornstein’s current work focuses on ending suicide among LGBTQ youth.
Center board member Candice Hart facilitated a Q&A with LGBTQ youth, discussing everything from coming out to your parents to safer sex. Following her visit, Bornstein (who makes her home in New York) said she hopes to return soon to perform and lead a workshop for the center’s youth. People can follow her on Twitter @katebornstein.
