Lavender Youth Recreation & Information Center (LYRIC) is a community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQQ) youth. This presentation contains a brief history of LYRIC, an overview of their services, why the work LYRIC does is important, and how to make referrals. The workshop also includes a fun, interactive, activity that gives a feel for the work they do!

Jay Maldonado is a transgender, bi-cultural, Latino transplant from the east coast. A native of New Jersey, he started his career as fundraiser. After years of wine and cheese events, he was moved by the need to connect with clients. In August of 2005, Jay began to work for a small community based organization in Newark, New Jersey where he found his calling managing programs for recently emigrated families. After four years directing Family Literacy programs in Newark, NJ, Jay decided it was time for a change of scenery and moved to San Francisco. Since arriving to the bay area Jay has coordinated Summer Reading, Parenting, and After School Programs in the San Francisco’s Mission District. Jay received his Master’s in Public Administration and brings extensive experience in program development to his role as Director of Social Change at Lyric. He prides himself on creating culturally sensitive programs that aim to build confidence, responsibility, and life skills in youth. In his free time Jay enjoys his yoga practice, attending art events, and expanding his circle of fierce trans folk trying to make a difference!

Alex Karson is a hip, energetic firecracker who is a youth activist and social justice cheerleader through and through. Prior to her work at LYRIC she worked as a youth advocate for youth experiencing violence in their homes, as a comprehensive sexuality educator, and ran groups for young women in the juvenile justice system. Alex graduated with a BA in Feminist Studies from The University of California, Santa Cruz, where she not only spent her time hugging trees but immersing herself in theories of anti-oppression. On her free time she enjoys teaching yoga, scuba diving and cooking delicious dinners.

As Transgender Remembrance Day is on November 20th this year, we thought this would be a great time to focus on the medical decisions that people who undergo sexual reassignment are faced with. In this informal talk, Dr. Charles Moser, MD will answer questions about the medical options, treatments, and procedures currently available in the US as well as give a broad overview of the process.

Many teens learn about sex from their peers or in school before they ever talk with their parents. It can be difficult to know where to start the conversation and what’s the most important information to include. We’ve gathered a panel of professionals to discuss how they teach teens about sex. We’ll hear about different approaches used by Planned Parenthood, Kaiser Permanente’s Educational Theatre Program, and a high school teacher. Come join us for a discussion of what’s working and how we can better meet the sex ed needs of teens today.

The beer booth is one of our regular fund-raising efforts and a great way to help out the organization while you’re at the Fair. We have had tons of fun the last three years slinging beverages. Like all San Francisco Sex Information events the booth is staffed entirely by volunteers. Come help us make this year the best so far!

The booth is located at the NE end of the Fair, near the 7th Street stage. We’ll be the first beer booth you see if you’re coming from 7th Street. Grab a beer before heading over to the live music, or on your way down the main drag.
