In the U.S., as many as half of them may identify as lesbian, gay, bi, or trans. Most escaped -- or were expelled from -- homophobic families. And many find that the same prejudice stands in the way of the basic community services they desperately need. Programs for LGBT homeless youth are on the mayor's chopping block in New York City, but these vulnerable kids are not fighting alone, as LEANNE STAHNKE of Free Speech Radio News reports (with comments by former homeless youth BRIDGET; CARL SICILIANO of the Ali Forney Center and KATE BARNHART of Sylvia's Place, two of the few small agencies in New York City providing services to homeless LGBT youth; and LEW FIDLER, Chair of the New York City Council Youth Services Committee). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5:20 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" Email Lists Promo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :55 SEGMENT #4 - "A GIRL LIKE ME: THE GWEN ARAUJO STORY" recently began a run on North America's Lifetime cable channel.
