An hour of new footage is like a whole new documentary. That's exciting.

I love this doc so much but it also makes me sad. It wasnt a good ending for a lot of them. I start to feel sad when I see the two young boys out at like 3am. One of them doesn't have family and says he is staying with a 'friend'. Hopefully it was a trustworthy person. But there was and still a lot of predators that pick up homeless gay youths and they find themselves being passed around in this circle of predators.

Venus Xtravaganza too, I came very close to crying when they mentioned how she died.

Ugh I know, that was so heartbreaking. Venus seemed so full of life too.

Not sure if you're referring to the two young boys that appear halfway thru - the ones who look like they're maybe 12 or 13? But that part always guts me. I've googled before and I don't think anyone knows what ever happened to them. Hope they're ok wherever they are.

Jenny must be broke!

Jennie shouldn't be making a dime off of this; she's a white woman voyeur.

exciting! i wish we as a community were more aware of all these trailblazers and did more to honor them, especially the ones we've lost thanks to ameriKKKan policies.
