“Our Pride exhibition plays a critical role in fostering the understanding needed by LGBTQ young adults and youth," Laurie Sherman Graff, Executive Director and Founder of Heart Gallery NYC, said in a statement. "They often face isolation during the most vulnerable time of their lives. They need loving adoptive families. We’re hoping that same-sex or heterosexual couples will step up to fulfill the children’s dream of finding “forever families.” She continues, “This exhibition is about honoring the nearly 12,000 NYC children living in foster care and the hundreds waiting and ready to be adopted. We are thankful to the Times Square Alliance and You Gotta Believe for helping to bring this exhibition to fruition and in the public eye.”
