LOCAL ALLY ROCKS OUT: Local singer-songwriter and advocate Livvie Forbes celebrates the release of her new album, “Chronic” with a CD-release show 8 p.m. Sept. 29 at World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. The 18-year-old singer has been recording music since she was 15 and was inspired by her struggles with several medical conditions and the bullying she experienced.
“I was bullied for a really long time so a lot of it came form the depression and anxiety that I worked through. My sister came out when I was in seventh grade and it really opened my eyes to what was going on in the world and how my peers really wouldn’t react well when people would come out saying they were gay or trans,” Forbes said.
She started attending Philly Pride and became involved in Conestoga High School’s Gender Sexuality Alliance in ninth grade, later becoming president of the organization.
“It was really amazing to see all of the trans and gay communities in Conestoga come together and really get the word out that [the LGBT community] needs to be accepted.”
