Rally to Protect New York Homeless LGBT Youth

A rally to protect and advocate on behalf of homeless LGBT youth will occur tonight in Manhattan. This rally is in response to the recent hate crime against the Ali Forney LGBT homeless youth shelter. There are too many issues LGBT youth who are homeless go through to be ignored and while the the NYC Commission on LGBTQ Runaway and Homeless Youth came out with a report of suggestions, action needs to follow for implementation of change.

Monday June 14th, 6:30PM, Union Square
(Special guest-speakers Sandra Bernhard and Lt. Dan Choi)

Arkansas Politician Doesn't Want Homeless Shelter for "Homosexuals & Criminals"

Little Rock Arkansas City Director Erma Hendrix is opposing the construction of a homeless shelter, claiming that it would bring "homosexuals" and "criminals" into the community.

"A lot of them are homosexuals. They're criminals," Hendrix was quoted in the Democrat-Gazette in explaining her opposition to the homeless center in her ward.

It is outrageous that a politician make these remarks against some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. Please contact Ms. Hendrix and urge her to retract the statement and issue an apology.
