New Documentary Series 'FADE IN' addresses Homeless LGBT Youth

A new online documentary will focus on individual stories of homeless LGBT youth.

Here's a synopsis
Fade In is a webisodic documentary series featuring inspiring stories from homeless LGBTQ youth. These 3-5 minute clips are not only designed to bring awareness to the fact that 35-40% of runaway or homeless youth in New York identify as being LGBTQ, but also to provide and promote a positive light forward for teens struggling with their identities due to personal, social, and familial factors. Each segment will be based around a different virtue (e.g. beauty, acceptance, compassion, faith) and will feature up to three youths discussing an uplifting story that relates to said virtue. Through smiles and laughter, tears and heartbreak, these touching stories shine a light on the truths of those forced to live in darkness.

I'm really glad this is being showcased because it's a lot of homeless gay youth out there trying to belong and be a part of a loving circle. The stories I know of some guys are just sad, but it's reality. Thanks for posting these vids.
