http://www.metroweekly.com/gauge/?ak=3460Two weeks before opening the District's first transitional home for homeless GLBT youth, Brian Watson is working on only four hours of sleep, consumed by all the work yet to be done on the house, as well as by how much information to share.
''At first I was hesitant,'' admitted Watson, the director of programs at Transgender Health Empowerment (THE) and president of the D.C. Coalition of Black LGBT Men and Women, of officially announcing the opening date of the Wanda Alston House at THE's pageant fundraiser, May 18, the night before speaking with Metro Weekly. ''But now it's really coming together.''
