Watermark's Rainbow Family Guide 2024

Nurturing a wild, wonderous, and welcoming environment for all.

Modern Families

Much like gender identity and sexual orientation, family is a fluid word. There are no two that are alike and each one appears on a wide spectrum of what it means to be family.

Family can mean your parents and siblings. It can mean your grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. It can mean caring strangers who took you in and provided love and understanding. It can also mean the friends in your life you depend on and who in turn depend on you.

Since families are so varied and different, we here at Watermark like to put together a varied collection of stories for our annual Rainbow Family Guide. This, our fifth guide in the series, explores the resources available for LGBTQ+ youth, parents and families after a frightening and difficult year for LGBTQ+ Floridians.

First, we look at the silent crisis that is unfolding in the heart of Central Florida and Tampa Bay — LGBTQ+ youth finding themselves without a place to call home. Despite the vibrant Pride parades and the appearance of acceptance, many LGBTQ+ youth face homelessness due to

their family's denial or disapproval of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We chat with local organizations whose mission it is to help these LGBTQ+ youth and about how they are doing so.

Next, with the everchanging political landscape in Florida, we look at what kind of impact these new and challenged laws are having on the LGBTQ+ students in the state. Staying with the schools, we also look at how joining a GSA can help prepare you for college and beyond.

You will also find a page with activities in this guide so you can have a little bit of fun while also learning something about being LGBTQ+.

Finally, we have included a variety of other local, statewide and nationwide resources to help you with all your LGBTQ+ youth, family and individual needs whether you are a parent in the community or have a queer youth in your care.

Beacons of Hope

Organizations address LGBTQ+ youth homelessness

Deborah Bostock-Kelley

Some Floridians might find themselves in the comforts of home, social media scrolling as an evening thunderstorm approaches, and it may not cross their minds that young people are worrying about the gathering clouds without a safe place to spend the night.

A silent crisis is unfolding in Central Florida and Tampa Bay. Even with vibrant Pride parades and the appearance of acceptance, many LGBTQ+ youth face homelessness due to their family's disapproval.

Recent studies have painted a stark picture of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness in Florida. Nationally, the Trevor Project reports that 28% of LGBTQ+ youth reported experiencing homelessness or housing instability, and the absence of legal protections in Florida is a call to action. Nonprofit organizations and local advocates are tirelessly pushing for laws that safeguard LGBTQ+ youth, and each step forward is a step towards a more inclusive society that addresses the crisis affecting this vulnerable population.

In the bustling communities of Central Florida and Tampa Bay, beacons of hope shine for LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness. These young individuals can forge paths to stability with the support of these organizations advocating for change.

HOMELESS SERVICES NETWORK of central fl

The Homeless Services Network of Central Florida focuses on getting people into housing. Chief Operating Officer Brian Postlewait says they "work with local government effectively and efficiently to end homelessness." Programs include permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, host homes and a drop-in center.

Postlewait says that the number of LGBTQ+ unhoused youth is shocking. "While homelessness is tragic and traumatic for everyone, LGBTQ youth experience homelessness at a much higher rate than almost any of their counterparts,” he notes. “Youth in particular, I think 40% experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ. In our community, we have some data that suggests it's closer to 50%. This can be due to family rejection and a lack of resources.

"If you're LGBTQ, you're experiencing discrimination, you may feel unsafe,” he continues. “There are a variety of programs that may be structured for cisgender, heterosexual individuals. Some shelters have limited flexibility with all women's dorms or all men's dorms, so even shelters that do their best to accommodate, if you're an LGBTQ youth, you have a whole set of behaviors about trying to keep yourself safe and a shelter may not appear to you as a safe place to be."

Community leaders of the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness, including business persons in major cities and counties, passed a resolution that said they support low-barrier climate-controlled shelters. "That resolution is indicative of our community's commitment to finding dignified solutions," he explains. Learn more at HSNCFL.org.

THE FAINE HOUSE

Faine House operates a 7,000-square-foot transitional co-ed housing facility in the Pine Hills community with 10 private bedrooms for 18- to 23-year-olds. They provide temporary housing and have contracted with an agency for mental health counseling.

"We emphasize helping young people deal with their trauma," program director Ray Gaines says. "Our goal is to get our young adults working towards independence." All residents can stay up to two years and must maintain a job and/or attend school. Many residents attend community colleges or vocational schools.

"The LGBTQ population has a hard time being included, so we try to make sure our house is super inclusive to everyone," he says. "We foster a family environment. When you come in, it feels like home. You won't see a lot of rules and regulations on the wall."

Gaines recalls his favorite success story of a young woman who has been in the home twice. She was unengaged and held a bleak outlook on life. She wasn't interested in school or employment. She sat on the parking lot pavement crying because she didn't understand what was needed to be independent.

"'I'm fine living out in the woods or in my car, Mr. Ray,' she said," he recounts. "We now turn the tables. She's been here a year and a half, has a job, attends culinary school and graduates in May. She's gearing up for her own apartment. She's such a joy to be around ... We sit back, laugh, and cry about that time we were sitting out in the parking lot." Learn more at TheFaineHouse.org.

ZEBRA YOUTH

Zebra Youth is another Central Florida organization that empowers LGBTQ+ youth who are ages 18-24 and facing homelessness. Their short-term housing initiative, the Bridge Housing Program, has 11 beds and stabilizes young individuals. It also guides them toward housing readiness through personalized case plans. Given the high demand, a waiting list often forms. To apply, unhoused youth complete a membership application and program agreements.

"We have specific locations that are leased by Zebra. That program has been around since 2013," explains Heather Wilke, executive director. "We provide short-term housing for LGBTQ youth in that program." Rapid rehousing is a voucher program that will allow youth to have their own lease and stay up to two years, though one program is up to three years for youth living with HIV.

The youth is assigned a case manager that they meet with regularly to complete their goals of maintaining their housing. Part of case management is helping them ensure they and the property they reside in are safe. They also provide educational and vocational programs to help youth transition from homelessness.

Zebra Youth also offers mental health counseling as one of their major programs. "We have therapists and therapist interns on staff," Wilkie says. She also notes that one of the main roadblocks facing the LGBTQ+ youth homeless population is the lack of support from family.

Wilke notes the best way to help homeless LGBTQ+ youth is to speak up. "We need activism and lobbying for ... laws that impact our youth to be dismantled," she says. Learn more at ZebraYouth.org.

I AM HOPEFUL

Demaris Sanchez, founder of I Am Hopeful in Tampa, had to do something to help unhoused youth. In 2018, this real estate agent founded her 501c3 organization to help youth ages 18-25 navigate the system. Young people must apply to qualify for the program and mental health services are available by referral. Sanchez does this without funding from the government.

family that lives close by the school they are attending to allow them to complete high school," Sanchez explains. "After graduation, they enroll in the military, attend college or complete a technical degree. They need to have an action plan to qualify."

Sanchez says most of the homeless LGBTQ+ youth have been disowned by their parents. She clarifies that unhoused youth, once certified as homeless, qualify for free education through a completed FAFSA — assisted by her nonprofit. Additionally, aging-out foster children are also eligible.

Upon high school graduation, students who plan to attend college move from their temporary family residence to dormitories funded by government grants. "If a youth turns 18 in the foster care system and they want to move out or the foster parents tell them to move out, the very next day, they will have free education and rental assistance funding to pay for housing. Most foster kids don't know their rights and what is available to them. They need to talk to their social worker," she explains. "Educating

to essentials like shelter and food, and assistance in accessing education and other vital services. Though she agrees foster care may not always be the best option, youth under 18 will exit the system with the benefits.

Sanchez explains, "The major problem with homeless youth is lack of information. We need more families willing to host these kids. We need a building that we can convert into a shelter — a bridge home for these kids to provide the tools they need to navigate through life successfully." Learn more at IAmHopeful.org.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

HSNCFL, Faine House, Zebra Youth and I Am Hopeful are just a few organizations that are helping turn the tide against LGBTQ+ youth homelessness. Their mission to save young people provides temporary shelter and a path toward recovery.

Their collective dream is one night, in the not-so-distant future, Florida's unprotected LGBTQ+ youth won't be afraid to sleep

Navigating the Sunshine State

How Florida’s evolving laws impact LGBTQ+ youth Bellanee Plaza

In Florida, LGBTQ+ youth should know what can or can’t affect them. There were many bills nearly signed into law or that have been signed into law that target the LGBTQ+ community, especially the youth.

The Parental Rights in Education Act, also known as “Don’t Say Gay or Trans,” was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis in March 2022. It did not define the terms it used like “age-appropriate” or “developmentally appropriate.”

The law was created with vague language and was framed not only for parental rights but as a way to “protect kids.” In 2023, it was expanded to high school.

Two-thirds of teachers say they self-censor when it comes to teaching about topics of race and gender even when no state laws restrict such work, according to a national survey by RAND Corp.

In March 2024, a settlement between LGBTQ+ advocates and the state changed things. This cleared up a large part of the law, advising teachers and students can speak freely and write about gender identity and sexual orientation in classroom discussions, essays and projects as long as it’s not formal instruction.

So, what does that mean? The law still bans instruction in classrooms, books or possibly sections of textbooks that would instruct people in any way about gender identity and sexual orientation. The law is meant to be neutral and doesn’t apply to library books not used in the classroom. Depending on the context of the book a teacher may not be able to read it aloud to the class.

If any anti-bullying programs were put on pause or possibly removed, they can return. Teachers can place stickers in their classrooms to designate the space as an LGBTQ+ safe space again.

These attacks bring up mental health concerns for the youth.

In 2022, 73% of LGBTQ+ youth in Florida reported symptoms of anxiety and 60% of LGBTQ+ youth in Florida reported symptoms of depression, according to The Trevor Project.

The policies are still in effect with AP African American history being banned because of its queer section. The attacks on LGBTQ+ youth don’t stop at high school; sociology is no longer a core curriculum course for undergrads because of the unit on human sexuality.

In recent years, Republicans have filed over 20 of the most antiLGBTQ+ bills the state has seen, including attacks on transgender rights, banning Pride flags and more. Stop WOKE Teacher Training, or HB 1291, was another bill that was passed into law.

HB 1291 prohibits educational discussions about systemic and institutional racism, sexism, oppression and privilege to adults participating in teacher training preparation programs, according to The American Civil Liberties Union.

Hundreds of people protested the proposed bills like HB 1639, which would require transgender people to have their sex assigned at birth listed on their driver’s license and ID cards, instead of listing their gender identity. This memo was untimely passed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Deputy Executive Director Robert Kynoch.

A pro-LGBTQ+ bill, PEP Access or HB 159, was passed to oppose the attacks. This bill will allow pharmacists to prescribe “postexposure prophylaxis” or PEP to prevent an HIV infection after exposure. This is a much-needed bill as Florida remains near the top of the list of states with the highest number of new HIV cases.

These are groundbreaking changes as the courts have shut down other bills. Many organizations are still fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, from Orlando Youth Alliance to Equality Florida.

Organizations that fight for advocacy are vital to LGBTQ+ youth as they offer resources, mentorship and safe spaces for those in need. Having a place of belonging and empowerment provides a sense of support like no other.

What lies ahead for Florida’s bills and laws is unknown, but it’s up to the youth to rise above the attacks and change for the better. The new generation can stand up for injustice, learn, grow and thrive in an equal environment regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

It’s OK to GSA

GSA clubs help queer kids be More confident, authentic

Connor Barry

In a time when hate can

feel overwhelming,

nothing is more important than an accepting community that helps make you feel empowered to be your most authentic self.

Being free to be who you are is especially important for youth as they try to figure out who they are. This is the essential thing that Gender-Sexuality or Gay-Straight Alliances, also known as GSA clubs, offer kids in many high schools. They create a space where kids can feel safe, where they can learn about things that affect them that they may not have been able to learn about otherwise and let queer kids know that they are not alone in their struggles.

“I didn’t know anything about the queer community or different identities or anything,” says Elle Acosta about their time before joining their high school’s GSA club. “I learned a lot, did a lot of selfeducation.”

Acosta, now a third-year student at the University of South Florida, was president of the Paxon School for Advanced Studies GSA club for two years. They rebuilt the club after nearly everyone left and worked to make the club fun and educational.

Being able to explore who they are without fear of ridicule, judgment or violence sets queer kids on a path to being more comfortable in their own skin and being more confident after they graduate high school and continue into their adult lives.

“Just being around other queer people was very cool. I feel like that’s where I got a lot of my friends," says Acosta.

Acosta says that their GSA club was like a big group hangout where they also learned about being LGBTQ+. Kids would make presentations on a range of topics relating to queer history and policies and issues affecting them. The GSA also provided an opportunity to participate in the LGBTQ+ community on a larger scale through partnerships with an LGBTQ+ youth resource group. Being open and informational provided a lot of opportunities for its members to learn about different aspects of the LBGTQ+ community that some had never been exposed to.

“I don’t know if I would have learned everything that I did about the LGBTQ community and different identities. I’m nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. It took me a long time to get there even with all that so without it I don’t think I would be anywhere near as comfortable,” says Acosta.

While learning and being active in the community were part of their GSA, Acosta says that was never what kept bringing kids back.

“It was just about having a safe space, it wasn’t necessarily about being politically active, being an activist or teaching everything about queer history. It was just about being with other people,” Acosta says.

“I felt like it was normal for me… like I’m just having a good time hanging out with friends. But people would literally come up to me and say, ‘this is so important to me, this is the only place where I can feel comfortable talking about this stuff and being with other people who are also queer, and its really meaningful for me,’” says Acosta.

Acosta adds that the benefits of this safe space could be seen in the kids who attended club meetings regularly. Many were able to be free during GSA meetings in a way that could not be outside of them.

“Unless you’re always around queer people and have a lot of queer friends, it can be really difficult to feel comfortable,” says Acosta. “There were seniors who came to our GSA who had never come out and they came out to GSA.”

Another member of Acosta’s club, Derrick Wheeler, echoes some of the feelings Acosta shared towards their GSA. “It was a different atmosphere than normal life ... you felt like you could express yourself better,” says Wheeler. “It is good to have a place where you can be with other queer people in a positive environment.”

Wheeler says that during their time in the club, they saw this be especially true for the underclassmen who were new to the school and really needed a space like that.

“I used to just show up there when I had nowhere else to go after my first club, but then I actually started liking it and went more often,” says Wheeler.

GSA provides an irreplaceable service to queer kids. Giving them lasting relationships and community that helps them learn who they are, but also what it means to be queer and building them up to be a truer and more confident version of themselves after high school.

It was the value of these types of communities that encouraged Acosta to join USF’s Pride Alliance when they began college, and eventually move into an LGBTQ+ living community on campus where they met many of their friends.

“I would not be the person I am today if I didn’t have the GSA, it was the biggest part of high school for me,” says Acosta.
