The Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health is honoring Dan Savage, author of the sex advice column Savage Love, and youth leaders at its 5th annual event Let's Talk about Sex at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Dan Savage is an author, media pundit, journalist and newspaper editor. He is the writer of the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column Savage Love and the editorial director of The Stranger, a weekly alternative publication in Seattle. Savage is the author of several books, including Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me; The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family; and Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America. Savage will be available for interviews the day of the event.
The annual event also recognizes five outstanding youth advocates for their leadership in sexuality activism. ICAH recruits, trains and supports adolescents ages 14 to 20 throughout the state to create social change around adolescent sexual health and parenting through youth-led projects and actions.
Debby Herbenick, the author of the sex advice column In and Out in Time Out Chicago, serves as the master of ceremonies. The evening includes cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and a live performance of Fast Forward, an About Face Theatre production. Fast Forward tells the true stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning, and allied youth ensemble members, exploring the connection between the current lack of comprehensive sex education in schools and the impact of HIV/AIDS on youth.
