So what exactly are the masterminds of the popular pop band Years & Years cooking up for LGBT youth?
As it turns out, Years & Year's openly gay frontman Olly Alexander, along with the rest of his crew, are prepping to launch a project with a primary focus on celebrating and encouraging LGBT voices in the arts, providing safe spaces to cultivate young people's creativity!
The project, going by the name "Rendezvous," is set to be formally introduced at the band's upcoming headline show at London's O2 Arena on December 5.
"Listening to my LGBT peers has been my most powerful teacher, and I am lucky I’ve been able to meet so many like-minded people, but I know that isn’t always easy to find." Alexander said in a statement, according to Attitude. "My hope is that the launch of Rendezvous will encourage people to make new connections, new ideas, make friends, be inspired and have a lot of fun!"
"The status quo is changing–for the better," he continued.
"We believe that these artists deserve to be seen and heard and that audiences deserve to see and hear them too."
