WASHINGTON, D.C. – Mitchell Gold, founder of Faith in America, was honored Wednesday during a reception co-sponsored by both U.S. senators from North Carolina, the Honorable Sen. Kay Hagan and the Honorable Richard Burr, for his work to educate the public about the harm caused to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth.
The event paralleled this week's launch of Gold’s new paperbook book "Youth in Crisis: What Everyone Should Know About Growing Up Gay." Gold in 2008 published “CRISIS: 40 Stories Revealing The Personal, Social, and Religious Pain and Trauma of Growing up Gay in America.” He has called the book, which was co-produced with Mindy Drucker, his sister-in-law, one of the most rewarding advocacy projects he has ever undertaken.
Since 2008, Gold has appeared in more than 300 television, newspaper and radio interviews and public forums all across the country to discuss the harm caused to gay youth and families when misguided religious teaching is used to place a moral, religious and legal stamp of disapproval on their very being.
