CT families of queer youth voice concerns about upcoming election

A few years ago, Sarah Celotto would have described herself as someone who was raised Catholic, traditionally voted as a Republican, and who “was very unsure about the LGBTQ+ community altogether.”

That changed, however, when one of her children said they wanted to transition. The love of her child came first, Celotto said — so she began her research.

Cameron, Celotto’s transgender son who medically transitioned, inspired the creation of her own nonprofit that provides support to queer youth and their families.

Her son’s transition also led to a pivotal change in her political identification and how she’s approaching the upcoming presidential election.
