THE TRAILER
WHY HOOKED?
About two years ago I published a novel called HOT SISSY about growing up closeted in redneck Florida. It seemed appropriate to make the e-book free for anyone currently still in school, or unable to afford a copy. Within just a few days, hundreds of kids reached out, and even shared THEIR stories.
Turns out I’ve had it pretty easy in comparison to what some of these kids are currently going through. It was shocking how some of these people are being treated just because of their sexual identity. I’m really grateful for the chance to have shared my story, but now I want to use my time to tell some of theirs, and hopefully make their lives better in the process.
REAL IMPACT
The concept is simple: half of the profits from this film will go to benefit various charity organizations whose goal is to end LGBT youth homelessness and abuse.
In the USA, LGBT youth are 8 times more likely to end up homeless as a direct result of homophobia. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, LGBT homeless youth are 7.4 Times more likely to experience acts of sexual violence than their heterosexual counterparts. Over 58% of these kids have been sexually victimized. Their suicide rate is more than two times higher as well. It’s even common for “normal” shelters to simply refuse to serve transgender kids.
LGBT kids need a safe place. They need find guidance from people who understand them. This isn’t special treatment, it’s life saving.
Queer youth shelters run on razor thin budgets. Any contribution will make a direct affect on those in need. With your help, we can continue to fund these amazing organizations and help them expand.
