Most of us expect our family to accept us and care for us unconditionally. There are some out there who are not granted the same fortune. Every day, hundreds, if not thousands, of youth are rejected by their own families after their sexual orientation is revealed. These youth can become victims of abuse and feel compelled to runaway or forced out of their homes. To futher their hardships, these youths are often turned away or feel threatened in ordinary shelters. With the help of people like you, we can make the difference in their lives.
If you can't make it to the event but would still like to contribute, please follow this link:

An estimated 25% to 40% of New York City's 20,000 runaway and homeless youth are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered. These young people, many of whom have faced harassment and discrimination from the very people that should protect and nurture them, are in desperate need of services to achieve independence and self-sufficiency. Metropolitan Community Church of New York, a faith-based nonprofit organization located in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem neighborhoods, has responded to meet the needs of this disenfranchised and marginalized group of young, homeless people. Since 2002, the Homeless Youth Services of Metropolitan Community Church of New York (MCCNY) has worked tirelessly to meet the unique needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender runaway and homeless youth of New York City. MCCNY’s Homeless Youth Services includes a 6-bed emergency shelter housed in the church itself (Sylvia’s Place), and additional services such as food, clothing, mental health counseling, HIV prevention, and help with a variety of job and school needs.
