STAND FOR SOMETHING or fall for anything is a saying that youth leader Roshanna Trim lives by.

On Friday, the 21-year-old resigned as prime minister of the Barbados Youth Parliament (BYP), following a move by Government to prevent the BYP from debating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights.
