Compton's Table Back To School
As Erie Gay News was going to press, the annual Compton's Table and Macy's Back to School dates had not been finalized. Sources indicated that it will most likely be the third week in August. After confirming the dates, Compton's Table will have more information on its website and social media pages. This event helps get Erie queer students to get free backpacks with school supplies and gently used clothing. Also, Macy's will open its doors to Compton's Table for the third year and welcome selected youth to a private shopping event with store credit! You read that right - free clothes & private shopping event!

In 1966 at Compton's Cafeteria, gender-expansive people responded to the hostility they were subjected to, simply because they existed, with an act of resistance. In solidarity, today, Compton's Table serves as a place where queer youth and young adults can find community and resist marginalization. Our mission is to eliminate systemic inequity, create community through peer connection, and empower queer youth and young adults to be agents of change. Together with the individuals and communities we serve, Compton's Table works to create a thriving LGBTQIAA community.
