This subject and it's issues needs to be discussed by major outlets geared towards people of color. This is something that's been going on for far to long but no one talks about it. The issue of disowning your LGBTQ kid isn't something that's ever brought up. It's far more prevalent than people of color would care to admit. But I think it's time the community get's called out for the actions that leads to these issues in the first place. The shame, the religious poisoning, cultural trends aka the root of the problems that causes the rejection in the first place needs to be exposed.
awesome interview. The same scenario is going on in piedmont park, Atlanta. I am one of your biggest fans because you tackle all issues in the lgbt community, not just the ballscene. you are meant to do what you do. big ups!

Are there any social programs that are available for young people in this type of situation, Furthermore are there any"healthy"mentors for these young people?
There are tons organizations that help support homeless youth, to name a few Ali Forney, Hetrick- Martin, GMHC, Callen- Lorde, Harlem United, Safe Horizon Streetwork, but there is so much these great service organizations can do with all types of budget cuts.
my family wasn't poor. I think the Latino n African American communities religious s background has a lot to do with why our parents kick us out. How can u love God, yet kick your kid out cuz they're gay. Contradictions much?
Great parenting cant accept their own kids sexuality forcing many kids out to the mean streets some make it but to damn many dont. Easy to love when things are easy.real love is accepting and cherishing even when something Is difficult or beyond your realm of understanding This message is for you parents,think before u doom your child to a cold unforgiving world,because they are gay.
Thanks Luna
