Audio: Sassafras Lowrey presents the Kicked Out! Anthology

by Sassafras Lowrey Editor

Sassafras Lowrey - editor of Kicked Out - published by Homofactus Press, came to Red Emma's to speak about how the book brings together the voices of current and former homeless LGBTQ youth and tells these forgotten stories of some of our nationâs most vulnerable citizens. Diverse contributors share stories of survival and abuse with poignant accounts of the sanctuary of community and the power of creating chosen families. Kicked Out highlights the nuanced perspectives of national organizations such as The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force and The National Alliance Against Homelessness and regional agencies, including Sylviaâs Place, The Circus Project and Family Builders. This anthology introduced by Judy Shepard, gives voice to the voiceless and challenges the stereotypical face of homelessness.
