It\u2019s a lot more \u200bliteral. The 14th Street Y and New Country Day Camp are \u200cin the middle of Pride Camp.\u200d Now in its\u200c third year, the program is specifically\u200b aimed at serving LGBTQ+ kids and children of people in those communities. These pride campers from across the New York City area have \u200bcome for a taste of typical summer fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLGBTQ+ counselors are also on hand,\u201d Romo \u200dnoted. \u201cThey help show the kids the joy and connection\u200c of being in the queer community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have these trans kids coming to me and saying, \u200b\u201cAre kids gonna use my pronouns in middle school?\u201d Rachel Feldman, the assistant director of the camp, stated. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to see them \u200brecognize \u2064that\u200c school is not gonna be the same as Pride camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lonnie Ginsberg, the director of the camp, told Romo.\u2062 \u201cIf this camp existed when I was younger, I would\u200c be a very different person. I think my internalized homophobia would be much less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the\u200c realities, still today, about being an LGBTQ+ \u200dkid, is a sense of isolation,\u201d \u2062Romo declared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just love that whole idea. They look so happy,\u201d Snow concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo \u2064many of us were trying to \u2063hide being gay at the time, so we were \u200bmore focused on that, our energies went there, instead \u200cof just being a kid\u200d and exploring, really hoping these kids get a better shot at that,\u201d Romo concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBC News praised a LGBTQ+ camp for children, hailing it as &#8220;amazing&#8221; and endorsing the concept.
