Discussion video from the homeless LGBTQ rally

by admin on Apr.14, 2009, under General

So here is the video of the discussion described earlier. Essentially it’s a discussion of weather the homeless LGBTQ should have their own shelters or if they should share shelters with the straight homeless. The problem is that often the LGBTQ will get beat up and abused because of ther sexual orientation, but is it possible to educate the straight homeless about the LGBTQ homeless and solve the problem that way?
See the discussion here and feel free to participate in the discussion by leaving a comment.

The Rally at City Hall – the cause

by admin on Apr.09, 2009, under General

This video shows the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgendered, Questioning) homeless putting out pillows on the sidewalk to give a visual reference of where these youth will sleep in the future if the government cuts all funding for the shelters.

This is an interview with one of the hosts of the rally, Lucky Michaels is telling us why this cause is important to support.

Parallel universe

by Susi on Mar.16, 2009, under General

There is this discussion: Is the movie about homeless youth or is it about transgendered youth? It’s about both. Before I made this movie I had little to no contact with transgendered youth. It just so happened that the youth I met on the street was mostly of the TG community and the organizations I worked with had access to this community. It was an eye opening experience on many levels and I met lots of people I wouldn’t otherwise have connected with. It seemed like a parallel universe. I stepped out of one existence, my comparatively humdrum regular existence into this unpredictable, dangerous world and it was not virtual like on Second Life although it felt like a second life to leave my secure circumstances and go to Hunts Point or the teen stroll (descriptive word for different territories frequented by sex workers) in Queens or some other forsaken area in the New York nightscape I didn’t know existed.
