Welcome to the online home of the highly celebrated Kicked Out anthology that will be released from Homofactus Press
October 2009!
Edited by Sassafras Lowrey Kicked Out brings together the voices of current and former homeless LGBTQ youth from around the world who were forced to leave home as minors as a result of their sexuality and/or gender identity. More than just an anthology Kicked Out is truly a community based movement to increase visibility and fight the stigma that exists against queer folks who left home as teens.
On this website you will find detailed information about the anthology and our contributors including Judy Shepard (mother of Matthew Shepard). Additionally you will find an ever growing listing of shelters and community groups working with LGBTQ youth around the world, opportunities to share your story and much much more!
