"You're all family now," said the devilishly handsome Bill Torres, Director of Community Resources at the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBT youth in NYC, where I went last week to a training for volunteers.

He was telling us how we are going to be family for the homeless youth that wind up at the Ali Forney Center.

These are not youth who are suffering a minor rift with their families. These are people who have been beaten, abused, and turned out of their homes, often with a great deal of violence and emotional trauma.
