This is very nice of them - but there are so many homeless gay youth in the USA - why are we so quick to help others but forget all the homeless and hurt in our own country? I hope these guys come together to help their own - because life isn't one big gay party for all LGBT. http://www.thetaskforce.org/reports_and_research/homeless_youth "Of the estimated 1.6 million homeless American youth, between 20 and 40 percent identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)."
Homeless in Seattle, I agree with you. It's once of those charitable causes that has become trendy.
Examples:
AIDS in Africa - trendy.
Growing number of minorities with HIV in Major U.S. cities? Not so much.
Homelessness on the streets of Haiti pre and post-quake? Trendy.
Homeless LGBT Youth on the streets of major U.S. cities? Not so much.
I think Tori Fixx spoke no more serious truth in his song (one of my favorites) "Eye Wan2 Know" when he said:
"no disrespect but for years we've shown that we take better care of others than we do our own"
I know i t's politically incorrect to say these things but...oh well.
