We also brought our outreach unit to test, counsel and distribute literature to the many youths under the age of 21 that hang outside of the Prop House for an opportunity to safely engage with the larger LGBT community. As we continued to grow in favor with the LGBT adult and youth community we were invited to Boys Town where we became a fixture in the community testing 10 to 15 LGBT clients per night twice a week for more than two years.
