HunterHunter came out to himself as bisexual in 2014, and then again as transgender in 2017. Since graduating college, he has been working in various roles as an educator and a theatre technician. He learned of YouthSafe through a friend, and he joined because he wants to contribute to an organization dedicated to queer youth. When Hunter was in middle and high school, he didn't even know that it was an option to be queer and happy. He's here now to make that option known!

In addition to living his best bi trans life, you'll find Hunter reading YA fiction, playing ukulele (sort-of pictures above), listening to podcasts, laughing at his own jokes, sharing the gospel of atheist humanism, and writing and organizing for the revolution.

CarrieCarrie's interest in queerness began at fifteen when she first wanted to have a girlfriend and didn’t have enough words to describe their own feelings or the way they fit (or didn’t fit) into the world around her. Ever since then, they've been a part of communities who work to make the world less confusing and more just for everyone.
