This organization has lost its focus. It now spends most of its resources on organizing gay weddings, running a business expo, coordinating a parade and festival, and recently announced that it is starting to publish a magazine on gay culture. What happened to helping GLBT kids? It's a shame, because kids are literally dying and this group only cares about filling the pockets of its staff.

I only have wonderful things to say about LIGALY. I attended "Club LIGALY" as a youth and eventually became on of the original peer educators. My experience as a peer educator taught me so much about what youth are going through and how much LIGALY enhances their lives. The services they provide are so valuable. Long Island is lucky to be home to this organization.
