It's been just seven months since the Rev. Louis Braxton moved his homeless shelter for gay and transgendered teens from a church basement to a modest apartment in Astoria.
This past winter, Braxton and the homeless youths living in the basement of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church faced the very real prospect of homelessness when the diocese made the decision to shut the church down. Braxton, a pastor at St. Andrew's, learned of the decision at the end of November; the shelter — known as "Carmen's Place" — would have to find a new home by the beginning of the new year.

I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for a young person to try and transition in a cloistered, backward, conservative, industrial city like Astoria. That sucks.
