Closing Thoughts on Boston

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:09:34 -0400

I have to say, it hasn’t been a week since we left and I already miss everyone on the trip and have not stopped reminiscing about the things I learned on the trip. I am a sentimental person - from stories of partners lost to AIDS to stories of rising LGBTQ+ health clinics to the unique ways that schools are providing LGBTQ+ services to students. It was a heartwarming trip, with a lot more positive tones than the trip to New York. With healthcare and education, we can see a huge shift to support for rights - with homelessness, it is almost sad how few people seem to know there even is a problem. The progress made in healthcare for LGBTQ+ individuals helps to provide a much more positive outlook on community inclusiveness.

I thought it appropriate that healthcare for LGBTQ+ individuals in the first state to pass gay marriage and to have universal healthcare has been so well integrated. Fenway proved to be an amazing community health center with an astounding level of support for LGBTQ+ individuals. Massachusetts General Hospital has a message of acceptance: “When in distress, every man becomes our neighbor” is a quote that dates nearly back to the opening of the hospital and is beginning be followed for every population. BAGLY offers counseling and testing services for youth that may not be able to get that on their own. And the wonderful AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts raises so much money to help fight HIV/AIDS through their Boomerangs thrift stores. Harvard and MIT showed us how activists in a private institution can fight hard enough to change any policy that may be seen as discriminatory. I only wish that here at UMD we could do the same! All in all though, Boston is not the ice-cold snow covered city that it seems to be two thirds of the year. It is a warm and welcoming place for LGBTQ+ individuals, and new policies are being introduced often to it’s healthcare system to improve these conditions. DC could learn a lot from the Boston community, and I would love for each and every one of us to bring back a little of this Boston inclusiveness with us.

I can’t begin to choose what location that we visited would be my favorite. With so many great organizations, each teaching me ways to make a positive impact on my community, choosing is impossible. But I do know that the best part about the trip as a whole was the sense of community that I felt with our group as we bonded and began to learn so much more about each other. By the end of the trip, I hope that everyone felt as included as I did and felt like they helped to make a difference in the world. I have to give it up to each and every one of them who gave up their spring breaks just to learn how they could make a positive impact on the LGBTQ+ community. I hope we all continue to see each other and to contribute here at Maryland to make it a more inclusive community. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed following our trip!

The Story of (not) Rubbing John Harvard's Toe

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 00:40:00 -0400

Today marked the final day of LGBT Youth Health-related programming for this Alternative Spring Break - sad to say the least, but as a group we definitely made the most of it! Waking up at a fairly reasonable time, the gang slowly but surely got ready for the day and gathered in the lobby of the Hostel at 9:45am. Since our motto for the trip has been “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is late, and to be late is unacceptable,” we made it to our destination 45 minutes before our 11:00am meeting time. As a reward for our timeliness, we took a quick detour and coffee-ed, bagel-ed, donut-ed, etc. at our favorite morning pitstop, Dunkin.

Afterwards, we headed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (aka MIT’s) ‘Rainbow Lounge’ located in the Walker Memorial Building. There, representatives from MIT (Abigail and Sean) and Harvard University (Van) met us to conduct an open dialogue concerning our three varying LGBTQ Resources at our respective institutions. The types of services and programs provided for LGBTQ students at all three universities (including UMD) were very similar, but the differences is what made the conversation so eye opening. The fact that both of these schools are private and located within the urban city of Boston made their programming slightly different from ours.

The one aspect that really struck me is the Resident Life system with their version of Resident Assistants/RAs (they refer to them as “Tutors”). At MIT specifically, they were “Graduate Resident Tutors” - the fact that these were graduate students rather than undergrads allowed me to see how other schools were utilizing all students in Resident Life support, not just undergraduates. Van from Harvard spoke about how Tutors were specifically and intentionally trained to be able to best serve the LGBT community. Tutors who were LGBT-identifying were usually the points of contact for students who needed LGBT-related assistance; Harvard even has a posting of “LGBT Tutors” on their website for students needing it. Another interesting takeaway was the idea of programming for LGBT parents of incoming students - MIT addressed this and has been implementing programming to cater to those parent demographics.

Both Harvard and MIT had insightful questions on how “The One Project” runs and what the UNIV100Q course entails. Overall the conversation allowed all three universities to get an idea of what peer institutions were doing and how they could give and gain from sharing successes and failures. From speaking about inclusive language on campuses and college applications to how many students makes an effective retreat for LGBTA-identifying students, we covered a lot of important talking points and all learned valuable information that we can programmatically apply in the future. One closing piece from MIT’s Abigail which I liked was the mention of a friendly competition between the two institutions. Constantly surveying each other and comparing and contrasting what works and what doesn’t, both are continually “one-upping” each other and therefore just improving the quality of service at each university - a win-win if you ask me.

After exiting “The Rainbow Lounge”, we obviously had to snap a tourist-y picture by grabbing the first passer-by and getting him to take it for us.

We then headed to Harvard’s campus to explore a bit before lunch. On the way to the visitor’s center, we run into the Statue of John Harvard. Lauren had a moment of clarity when she remembered how the movie “The Social Network” talked about this particular statue. Apparently the statue isn’t even of John Harvard, but just of a student in the same time period. Also, Steve made sure we were remaining germ free, so he cautioned us against rubbing John’s bronze toe for good luck. (better healthy than lucky?)

Anyway, we finally made it to the visitor’s center after walking through some beautiful Harvard Quads in the snow.

What we decided at the visitor’s center: GRUB TIME. Walking a few blocks to Felipe’s Taqueria, we realize we had entered burrito (and quesadilla-wannabe) heaven..

Enjoying a delicious lunch, we successfully fueled up to finally create a GroupMe.. and move on to the next order of business..

SHOPPING! Well.. partly. While some of us went shopping, spending way too much time in Urban Outfitters due to its College Student sale, others visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History, explored Harvard’s campus (The Business and Education schools in particular) and ate delicious cupcakes!

The snow continued to fall, and dinnertime quickly approached. We dined at Taranta which served a fusion of Italian and Peruvian cuisine. It is restaurant week in Boston, so we were able to treat ourselves to an upscale restaurant at a reasonable price! We feasted on the sophisticated offerings of Beef Anticucho (meat and yuca), Mista Verde (salad), Pasta Pomodoro Della Nonna (pasta and sauce), Aji de Gallina Ravioli (chicken pasta), Braised Lamb shank (lamb shank), Macadamia Crusted Salmon (nut salmon) and to top it all off, Lucama Tiramisu (“Lucumisu”) and Guava Ricotta Filled Cannolo (“Guavannolo”).

As if that wasn’t enough, we headed to Mike’s, a Boston staple for dessert, where we ordered Cannoli’s to-go.

Once we got back to the Hostel after a long day, we debriefed with a Diversity Activity. We explored the differences in privileges and stigmas which are attached to certain demographics and discussed ways in which we can be sensitive to these differences and spread awareness to promote inclusion of all identities in our own lives.

This snowy yet dry Thursday brought a lot of learning, laughter and leisure. But, the bonding portion has been my favorite part of the day and the week overall. Creating a community within the LGBTQA population at UMD is one of the most powerful aspects of The One Project, and I’m so excited to be a part of it and to be able to go back to UMD with a few more great friends :D. I’m sad to see the end of the week approaching, but I’m happy that I was able to be a part of such a rewarding experience. Excited for tomorrow and to what it may bring!

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:45:00 -0400

Today, just like all of the other days this week, added to the list of reason why I’m moving to Boston after my undergrad. The city is beautiful, historic, extremely cultured, and has people like Dr. Robby from Massachusetts General Hospital.

I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself. What would a good blog post be without a recap of the entire day starting with the very difficult departure from my warm bed? Needless to say, it was extremely difficult despite our very gracious 11:30 meet-up time. After having my long needed Panera breakfast, I met up with the rest of the group in the lobby and we began our trek for the day in the wild urban jungle that is Boston.

On this leg of our Bostonian adventure, we met up with Dr. Robby (we were told to only call him Robby, but we agreed he deserved the Dr. recognition). Dr. Robby is a first year intern resident at Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass Gen). He studied at Tufts University for his undergraduate degree, continued there for medical school, and is now an MD. PhD. During his first year at Mass Gen, he passionately rallied for a more accepting and LGBT welcoming environment. He told us he’s still waiting on approval of Mass Gen branded rainbow symbol that would indicate that the hospital was a safe space for LGBT people to be open with their care providers. He is also currently trying to get LGBT friendly faculty to wear rainbow ribbons on their IDs to indicate to patients that their provider is able and willing to provide for LGBT related issues.

After having been thoroughly impressed by Dr. Robby’s work, we were given a tour of the hospital’s museum. Although somewhat…graphic at some points, the tour we were given was extremely interesting and informative. For example, Mass Gen is one of the only places (if not the only place) where some patients are being administered non-chemo cancer treatments where only a pill is needed. At the end of our tour, we were able to see the Ether Dome, where the first surgery done with anesthesia took place.

Despite having learned a significant amount about the rather unsavory medical procedures practiced in the past, we were all quite hungry after our tour and decided it’d be in all of our best interests to stop by Quincy Market for some sustenance. As we wondered the aisle for something to eat, we stumbled upon what can only be described as the answer to all of humanity’s problems, a specialty mac and cheese restaurant. I can say my soul was warmed by its cheesy goodness.

Following lunch, we had time for some individual exploring. We broke into several groups and all went in different directions. One group went to the Museum of Fine Arts, another went to go meet someone from the Fenway institute, Steve went to go do marriage-y things, and my group decided to visit the Museum of Science.

The day ended with a lovely pizza dinner and a discussion about the next day’s events as well as a discussion about what we had learned at Mass Gen. One peculiar fact we learned that had us confused was the lack of a single surgeon in the entire Boston area that is able to perform a gender reassignment surgery. For such a progressive city with such a large transgendered population, it would only make sense to have access locally to a specialized surgeon.

Overall, today was exceptionally educational and totally engaging. I can’t wait for what tomorrow holds.

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:37:00 -0400

Although the weather outside was not delightful, the people I met opened my eyes and help me see a brighter day for LGBT youth in Boston. I would have never thought that Boston would have such a comprehensive system that would tailor towards the needs and concerns of the people in the LGBT community. It was an amazing as well as a pleasant surprise going to these different hospitals and clinics and hearing from a variety of specialist in the health field. I wish there were amazing facilities like this back in my community of Baltimore that could offer phenomenal health care to LGBT youth.

One of the most shocking and memorable places I saw the other day was Fenway. The facilities there were mind-blowing, aesthetically pleasing, and huge compared to other hospitals I have seen. Also, I have never seen a hospital at that caliber that could offer a variety of service like medical, eye, and dental care to their patients in one setting. So while you’re getting your teeth cleaned, you can also stop by and get STD testing a few stairs down. Pretty cool right! And the best part about this hospital is that its main purpose is to enhance the wellbeing of the LGBT community and make sure that they have access to the best health care in the city.

After our tour of the facilities and learning about the history of Fenway, we were able to meet some great individuals in the Fenway Health Institute and have a great Q/A session with them. This Institute is the main facility at Fenway, which deals with research and advocacy for people that are LGBT. After the Q&A, I learned that there are great measures going on in Boston that are addressing some of the issues in this community. One that caught my attention specifically was the Connect to Protect initiative that deals with health disparities and HIV incidence rates in specific areas in Boston. Overall, the preliminary researchers were trying to figure out why this was happening in certain communities and what they can do to make sure this that this issue cease from happening. This was a great experience for me as a community health major, which helped me realize my mission in public health and fulfilling the well-being of others in under-represented communities.

Lastly at Fenway, we could not finish our day without doing service work! With the help of recruiters of Fenway, we created little outreach packets that marketed the research opportunities for Fenway as well as promoted safe-sex in the LGBT community. I really felt like I was making an impact on the individuals in the LGBT community of Boston as well as helping individuals at Fenway (my future employer). *crosses fingers* Oh yeah, I can’t forget the amazing t-shirts that were kindly given to us at the end of the day. It was the cherry on top for my visit at Fenway. :)

The next facility we visited was BAGLY. Even though it was not the same size as Fenway, I realize that it was still a huge powerhouse in solving the LGBT health issues in Boston. One thing that fascinated me about this small clinic was its advocacy work and their youth led groups that help in educating individuals about LGBT health. One event they do that caught my attention was a LGBT prom that hundreds of teens in the Boston community participate in every May. Who wouldn’t want to dress up and have fun with great people you can relate to? Plus, this seems like a great thing we can introduce to the DC LGBT community. I know I would be there! Overall, I see Bagley as a great resource with linking this community together as well as trying to stop the prevalence of STDs in the city of Boston.

Last but not least, our group visited BORUM. We were able to talk to a nurse practitioner as well as a social worker for this clinic in Boston. I felt like most of our day we heard a lot about the clinical aspect of LGBT health, so it was nice to hear from a counselor and hear about the psychological issues that are prevailing in this community. One common issue that the social worker said he came across was LGBT homelessness and the issue of emancipated minors in the city who cannot sign consent to things without their legal guardians. While talking to Mick, who was the behavioral therapist for BORUM, it seemed like there were not that many resources or service when it came to this issue. This makes me want to dive further in this issue and do my own research to see if there are any services that can benefit people who fit into those populations.

Even though the day was long, it was super productive in finding great resources in Boston that are helping to create a healthier LGBT community. Honestly, I did not want to go back to my hostel and wish we had more time to talk more with the variety of individuals we met today. Even though it was kind of bittersweet in ending my visits with these amazing places, I now know that there are great people doing great things for my community. Can’t wait for our next adventure! Whoop Whoop!

Tuesday morning brought in a healthy pile of New England snow, and although whoever’s job it was to shovel the sidewalks seemed to ignore the area outside our hostel (and every street corner), we trudged our way to the T for a long day of learning. We managed to arrive at Fenway Health on time and in tact with no casualties save some wet feet.

The immaculate waiting room and elevators that traveled to all 10 floors (!) made it feel like we’d arrived in a giant corporate office building and not a community health center, but we were soon taken by our host Amy to a spacious auditorium that overlooked snowy Fenway Park. Go Sawx. More impressive than the view was Fenway Health’s origin story: what started as a few people providing covert services to Boston’s LGBT population in basement apartment’s has become the largest LGBT health center in the world.

In a smaller conference room with an equally wonderful view, we were joined by three more professionals from the Fenway team who passed on some of their wide-ranging knowledge to us in a question and answer session. With years of experience, varied backgrounds and a massive knowledge base between them, every question received a thorough, inspiring answer that left us feeling ready to take action in this community and our own. They spiced up their presentation by passing out packets, charts, graphs and business cards, but nothing could prepare us for the fun handouts to come.

It’s raining condoms.

Coco and his crew of community outreach-ers joined us next to tell us about their work and have us give them a hand in assembling some outreach kits, chock full of condoms, condoms, vital information, lube, action figures and condoms. (Ignore the weird Jesus frisbees).

With bagfuls of goodie bags completed, we parted ways with the Fenway team and ventured back into the cold to eat our packed lunches at a restaurant. After our brief food break, it was off to BAGLY (Boston Alliance of Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth) on the Boston Common, but not before an important lesson in winter fashion from One Project co-coordinator and superstar Lauren:

Greetings, earthlings.

At BAGLY, we learned about the some of the services offered to the LGBT youth population both health-related (peer HIV testing) and community based (prom!). Although Massachusetts offers some form of state-sponsored health care, there’s still high demand for the free, personalized services at BAGLY.

Similarly, the smaller and more intimate setting of the Sidney Borum Health Center just across the Commons has been successful at providing primary care for marginalized populations, including homeless LGBT youth in Boston. Here, we also heard more about the behavioral health side of many of the issues we’d been discussing throughout the day.

With literally no time left in the day, our presenter left for his appointment mid-answer and we made the short walk back to the hostel. Dinner tonight featured a number of delicious options including chicken and pasta. The pasta especially was a hit among the crew, who all commented how the distinctly boiled taste really popped out. Al dente is an art.

After our meal (and meeting someone from Montreal who told us about how she studies old books) it was upstairs for a team-building activity on the nature of service. We even ran in to other alt-spring-breakers from UConn also dealing with LGBT issues! Service is a complex idea, but our discussion basically defined it perfectly. Hit us up and we’ll drop some knowledge.

Tomorrow holds the promise of another chance to learn, give back a little, and balmy 41 degree weather (Spring Break 2013!). Anyone for morning yoga?

Today, our group did its first service project of the week! Boomerangs is a nonprofit organization, owned and operated by the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, that runs a set of thrift shops throughout the Greater Boston area. All of the clothes are donated, and all of the proceeds go to support AIDS research in the area, primarily at Fenway Health (which we’ll be visiting tomorrow (assuming the snow doesn’t shut out little operation down)). Though let’s be honest, the snow could *certainly* shut this little operation down and not a soul would complain:

For Boomerangs, we tagged, sized, and hung (and tried on, on occasion) clothes - thirteen racks’ worth by the time the day was over. I think it’s hard to really see the difference you’re making when you’re doing an activity like this, because all you have to really take away is that you hung some clothes on a rack and they got shipped off to one of Boomerangs’ four stores. Liz Donovan, though, who taught us a little about the organization before we started (and taught us how to use the tagging guns without dying - direction to which Lauren probably should’ve paid more attention…), let us know at the end of our day with her that our thirteen racks were each worth, at minimum, $900. Essentially, in five hours of work, the nine of us put $13,000 worth of merchandise on the shelves, and every penny of that will go to the AIDS Action Committee once someone comes and pops some tags with approximately twenty dollars in their pocket.

We also met another volunteer today: named Jesus and, according to Liz, all-knowing - at least when it comes to the ins-and-outs of Boomerangs and the Committee. Toward the end of the day, he started to tell our group stories about growing up when the AIDS epidemic hit in the 1970s; about losing his friends and his partner to the disease and about how terrifying it was to be surrounded by something nobody fully understood. I think that’s when it really hit me that what we were doing, while is was menial and I might’ve had a slight mental breakdown induced by hanging size 46 men’s pants, really was going to make a difference in someone’s life. Folding clothes for five hours and managing to raise $13,000 in the process - easy enough, and certainly something we can do at home as well!

After Boomerangs, we T’ed our way back to the hostel and I don’t think any of us stayed awake until it was time to make dinner. Nine naps and a whole lot of meat and beans and guacamole later, we had taco night (with some really good tacos, if you ask me). And, because we could all use the extra calories (heh), a group field trip to the McDonald’s across the street for McFlurries promptly ensued. Send Steve some get well cards, he’s sinking in to a no shamrock shake-induced depression. Bless his heart.

—Tyler :)

P.S. McDonald’s in Boston close on Sundays and the vast majority of them only stay open until around 630pm every other day. Even Saturday.

P.S.S. There are 4-7 inches of snow in the forecast tonight and tomorrow. Wish us luck in our first New England snowstorm!

St. Patty's Dayyyy

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:37:19 -0400

I woke up in an unusual haze. I was neither hungover nor suffering from lack of sleep. In fact, I overslept. Regardless, my bed felt like satin and yesterday’s lag faded. Izzy, my bottom bunk mate, laid like a starfish while the rest of the room was empty. I sighed and checked my phone. 12:30 and 10% battery. We slept through our plans…the struggle was real.

Izzy and I got ready, but not hastily because “you cant rush all this” and headed to Boston’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We were feeling spontaneous, so we took the T instead of walking. After transferring to the red line for West Broadway, we squeezed into a suffocatingly small T car and huddled into a throng of both very green and very drunk Bostonians. They sang hit singles like 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall and throwbacks like Panic at the Disco’s I Write Sins Not Tragedies. Don’t question it. I laughed, but I’m pretty sure Izzy contemplated throwing himself onto the track.

Soon enough, we reached the parade. Everyone was having a blast, and Ke$ha blared through two towering amps, so our entrance was grand. Free beads and this girl littered the corner of West Fourth and West Broadway street.

Let’s just say she couldn’t hang. But we could—for about a half hour! We showed up late, anyways. After serendipitously wandering for about twenty minutes, we ended up right next to the Hostel we were staying in. Don’t ask how. Feeling hungry, we ate at a local joint called Boston Pizza Kitchen. The pizza was delicious, but what really had me going was the chicken shawarma I ordered. Shawarmas are arabic sandwiches made by combining chicken, steak, or lamb with vegetables and tahini all in a pita bread wrap. Although not as tasty as the authentic wraps I have had in the past, it came pretty close. Once finished, Izzy and I walked back to the Hostel and lounged around until we could rendezvous with the others.

For dinner, the whole crew got together and decided on switching it up with some breakfast foods. Blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes, cheesy eggs, toast, jam and juice compiled a wonderfully looking meal. If only I hadn’t eaten an hour before…

BUT WHAT WAS REALLY COOL WAS THE CAKE THESE MALAYSIAN WAYFARERS LET ME EAT OKAY LOOK AT IT I CANT EVEN

So far, the trip has been both eventful and entertaining. I’m excited for more to come!

How do you decide if it's "something" or "some thing"?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:40:00 -0400

Today marks our first full day in Boston. Starting with a day to bond with the group - and the fact that it was Saint Patrick’s Day - we all had very different experiences. Some of us chose to go to the aquarium, we all went to the parade, and ended the day with a nice group dinner made as a team.

The parade was a lot of fun. We saw a ton of really interesting costumes, ranging from Tinmen, to Ghostbusters, to Star Wars characters, to Waldo (who was really easy to find in the sea of green). It was very crowded, and even just getting to the T to get back took a lot of effort. But it was a great way to be introduced to the city!

As one of the four who went to the aquarium, I have to say it was a lot of fun. It is very similar to our own aquarium in Baltimore, though a tad bit smaller. We all took pictures with the various fish, including this one that had to have been 3 or 4 feet long! We ended with ice cream at a place that serves “the best ice cream in Boston”, and ate on the T on our way back to nap. We’ll see if their claim holds up the rest of the week!

Dinner was really tasty, too! I would congratulate the chef, if only I knew who he was….
Oh who am I kidding, it was a group effort. We all contributed, and it was a lovely breakfast-for-dinner! The hostel has a great kitchen, I’ve gotta mention that as well. I’m impressed!

But let’s backtrack just a bit. Yesterday we spent the day crammed in a van for 8 hours, with only a few pitstops. In that sort of environment it is impossible not to get to know eachother well! We all bonded over silly things like the word “something”, talked about our interests, and all of our excitement for the trip. It was a great start to the trip, even when we left Steve to drive lonely as we all slept in the midday sun. Sleeping seems to be a bonding activity for our group…
We got to the Hostel, were shocked at how nice it is, and went to get Chinese food down the street. I already knew that I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to lead on this trip!

I am looking forward to the rest of the trip!
Something tells me that some things only get better and better.
