Young Gay America and the associated YGA Magazine were founded by Michael Glatze and Benjie Nycum to promote community, information, and empowerment by and for gay youth. This current website is not connected with the founders or original staff of YGA, though the current owners of this domain share Glatze and Nycum's original vision to educate and empower gay youth, and provide resources for positive change among the youth of gay america. YGAMag.com and its queer-positive message of empowerment, self confidence, and focus toward happy and healthy gay youth in America will be here in full form, well funded and stronger than ever, before long.
