GLSEN - Upstate New York

We are absolutely devastated by the loss of our dear friend and former board member, Jonny.
Jonny was a champion and advocate for all, especially our LGBTQIA+ youth.
His passion and contribution to our community will forever be felt and we will carry his legacy with us as we move forward.

Jonny was faced with many institutional barriers to what should be accessible care in his fight- all of which he met with strength, resilience, and determination to alter through passionate advocacy.
Jonny was a thriver and inspiration to all who knew him.

You will be forever loved, dear friend ❤️❤️‍🩹

History does not repeat, but it can inform. Let’s choose to be informed by the power of people and the continued legacy of fierce activism and joy within the LGBTQIA+ community! 🙌
