Hello, I'm Kate. My close friend, Vron (@hologramvron) is in danger. They, 17, were recently outed to their parents. Their parents are deeply religious and have a history of abuse, and Vron has legitimate reason to believe that they will be sent to conversion therapy, a deeply harmful process.
They're already cut off from outside contact, not allowed to leave the house, and have been forced to sleep in a room without a door for over four years.
I've hired a lawyer on behalf of my friend. We know competent adults willing to take Vron in and are pursuing their emancipation immediately.
This is a costly process: The retainer for the attornies taking this on (Rogers, Kamm & Shea, Attorneys at Law) is $1,500. Helping the adults looking to take Vron in is a powerful way to help an LGBT teen looking for a safe home.
I'll provide regular updates on the case here and on my Twitter (@katemctiriss). Friends of Vron looking for more details on their situation can contact me there.
Thank you for all your help making the world safer for queer youth.
