      Hi do you any person or organization that could help or rescue LGBTQ from asian countries?

    Your talk had me in tears. Hard to believe parents could be so cruel to abandon an already vulnerable family member / child over a difference like that. What are they thinking? Punishment and penalty for being different? It's like throwing them to the wolves. I wouldn't do that to my worse enemy!
    Where is the humanity in that. Your talk was so compelling, left me wanting to hear more! I could tell you were very passionate about this, seeing it first hand.

    Melissa you are amazing. The work you have done is by far so profound and dire. I feel so honored to know you and call you my friend. My family is happy to give any of those youth love AND acceptance.

    I enjoyed your talk. I reviewed it for my class and found it very informative as well as sad that the youth of today have to endure these hardships. I hope, as a social worker, to be able to help eliminate these injustices. Thank you for sharing this information. To all the negative comments below, get a life.

    Housing is a human right. We can easily house everyone, but only by ending the real estate industry. De-commodify housing and everyone can have a place to live.

      As much as I believe in everything that was said in this video, what you are describing is socialism. There are better ways.

    Currently couch surfing as an eighteen year old trans teen who had to run away. I would really appreciate advice, I’m in illinois btw, but right at the border with Wisconsin so living there could also happen. I have amazing queer friends who understand my situation, and I’m definitely one of the lucky ones.
    If you’re also experiencing this, I love you for existing as you, and you are more capable than you might think. Meet people, take advantage of resources and follow your gut💗

    40% of young women is LGBT so ,40% homeless is not a high number.
