Being kicked out of our home is
unfathomable for most us, and it’s
particularly tragic when a young person
is kicked out on the street for expressing
their identity. Egale Canada sought to
create awareness to build Canada’s first
LGBTQ shelter and crisis center for
homeless youth. Over the course of two
months, dozens of celebrities and public
figures were brought in to step in front
of the camera to perform, share stories,
and offer their support for the campaign.
It’s a shock to be on the receiving end of
the hateful words delivered in this video,
and it was a taxing process for the actors
to get into the necessary mindset to perform.
