YGA is a bimonthly magazine for LGBT youth launched in December 2004. The magazine has the distinction of being the only publication for all LGBT and questioning youth, as opposed to the male-only XY magazine. The magazine is an offshoot of Young Gay America, a non-profit organization founded by Benjie Nycum and Michael Glatze in 2001. The magazine is respected as a resource by high school and public libraries, youth groups, counsellors and parents. Many look at the launch of YGA as a sign that the LGBT youth movement is beginning to take shape.
