NEW SERIES FADE IN GIVES GAY YOUTH A VOICE

While we wait with baited breath for LOGO to actually showcase some diversity on their tired cable channel, a new documentary web series called Fade In takes us inside the ongoing pandemic of LGBT homeless youth in New York City.

Below is a synopsis of the series courtesy of the filmmakers:

"Fade In is a webisodic documentary series featuring inspiring stories from homeless LGBTQ youth.  These 3-5 minute clips are not only designed to bring awareness to the fact that 35-40% of runaway or homeless youth in New York identify as being LGBTQ, but also to provide and promote a positive light forward for teens struggling with their identities due to personal, social, and familial factors.  Each segment will be based around a different virtue (e.g. beauty, acceptance, compassion, faith) and will feature up to three youths discussing an uplifting story that relates to said virtue.  Through smiles and laughter, tears and heartbreak, these touching stories shine a light on the truths of those forced to live in darkness."

Check out both the first episode and the trailer.
