BAGLY (Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth)

I go here all the time. They give you so many resources and support. You can even just hang out without problems.

I went to Bagly for some activities, but honestly, it was a disappointment. I spent more time on the road than enjoying the event, and when I finally arrived, I found what should be an inclusive space, but actually feels exclusionary. The worst thing is the staff's attitude: instead of building community, it seems like some believe that being trans or part of the community gives them the right to look down on us. But here we're all part of the same thing; no one is more or less. Most of the perks, like food and gifts, are for the staff, while the rest of us are just there for show. Isn't this supposed to be for everyone? It's sad to see how a space that should unite us becomes a circle of egos. I left with a bad memory, not for the community itself, but for those who use it to feel superior within it. If they're going to organize an event, at least do it well. Let the activities last long enough and stop treating people as if they're doing us a favor by letting us be there. Because in the end, without the community, they're nothing.

Great place!! I met a really sweet and cute girl who works there and everyone was so welcoming to me :) They are all amazing people (especially the girl i met who is now my girlfriend)

BAGLY is a beautiful and intentional space of care and belonging
