The Trevor Project is a national non-profit organization that promotes acceptance for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning youth, including suicide prevention and crisis intervention. They also work with LGBT-causes and acknowledge LGBT-friendly media.
What does that have to do with Rochester and the Finger Lakes? Recently The Trevor Project's Facebook page featured a same-sex parody of Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me" by the University of Rochester a capella group the Yellow Jackets:
I must say this made me smile - not only was it a LGBT-friendly parody, but it was benign and respectful both towards the LGBT community and towards the original source material. Also, in my opinion, hearing the positive reactions from the crowd just goes to show how accepting the community in Rochester is of the LGBT community (well, and also how popular the Yellow Jackets are, I'm sure). If you'd like to see their video put to the original Taylor Swift song, you can watch it here.
