Executive Director of the not-for-profit Trevor Project Charles Robbins talks about the project's history and their suicide and crisis prevention help line for queer and questioning youth. Based in Los Angeles and New York City but available to anyone across the country, the Trevor Helpline is the only national helpline for LGBTQI youth. Suicide is increasingly on the rise among this population, especially in the Midwest. In celebration of Valentine's Day Indy poet Lylanne Musselman talks about the cynicism of hopeless, romantic lesbian love on a new edition of "L Words". The new executive director of Indiana Youth Group (IYG) Mary Byrne calls in to talk about her position as well as the efforts and goals of the group in developing programs and support services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth in Indiana. Our featured musical artists of the week are show favorites The Dancin' Nancys who perform live in our studio. As always bloomingOUT also features the latest in national and international queer headline news and a community calendar highlighting local and regional events of interest to the queer community and our allies. Hosted by Helen Harrell and Victor Kinzer.
