As a family law attorney and Nassau County Legislator, David Majias has led efforts to keep the children in our community safe. In honor of his efforts, the proceeds from the 2016 LGBT Network Gala will directly support the Network’s “Safe Schools Initiative,” which seeks to create safer schools for LGBT youth across Long Island and Queens through anti-bullying and youth empowerment programs.

“The prejudice and bigotry directed toward LGBT community remain the last remaining stains on our national fabric,” says Mejias.

“LGBT Network gives us the means to confront it, to reveal just how ugly it is and to allow people to disavow it. Equally important, it allows us to educate people that those in the LGBT community are their neighbors, their friends, their family members… their children.”

This year’s “Studio 54” Gala featured disco tunes, dancing, and lounge seating with a cocktail party format. The program lasted just 20 minutes, so guests can mix, mingle, and hit the dance floor. Join the LGBT Network in honoring David Mejias as we “boogie down against bullying.”
