Looking at the more affluent areas of the developed world, it can seem like the fight for LGBT equality is either won or well on its way to be. However if you scratch under the surface you can find numerous areas where inequality is still causing massive problems and ruining people’s lives. It’s one of those areas that Pier Kids: The Life look at.
The film, ‘examines the legacy of Stonewall and the Gay Rights Movement it ignited by following the lives of DeSean, Krystal, and Casper, three gay and transgender youth of color who, after being pushed out of their home because of their sexuality, have become homeless on the same street the riots took place more than forty years ago.’
It’s been reported in the US that 40% of homeless young people are LGBT.
