Novo Novus Productions home of the hit web series Drama Queenz brings us a new web series Fade In: Inspiring Stories of Homeless LGBTQ Youth.
From Novo Novus:
The series is designed not only 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 & promote a positive light forward for teens struggling with their identities due to personal, social, and familial factors.
Each episode of FADE IN is 5 minutes and is based around a different virtue (e.g. beauty, acceptance, compassion, faith), with several youth discussing an uplifting story that relates to said virtue Through smiles and laughter, tears and heartbreak, these touching tales shine a light on the truths of those forced to live in darkness.
“The Novo Novus team was deeply troubled to learn that LGBTQ youth are disproportionately affected by homelessness in the U.S.,” says FADE IN Executive Producer Dane Joseph to loldarian.com. “We wanted to give these young people a unique voice in a way that both inspires action and confirms their worth.”
Watch the trailer and first episode of Fade In below:

i like this series.it's very inspirational.i think more stories like these ought to be heard,especially by us older gay folk(well im not that old -37- but im gettin up there..lol).i think its important that we find a way to mentor our glbt youth and for those who alreddy are positively mentoring-i applaud u.young glbt peeps need role models they can look up to.i kno when i came up i didnt have a role model or a house father/mother to sort of steer me.fortunatley,i had to "pump the brakes" on alot of incoming bad situations headed my way and thats pretty much how i learned to cruise thru my gay youthful years without a hitch.so i def like this series and look forward to seeing more great stories from our young glbt peeps.
