There is a disproportionate number of homeless LGBTQ teens on the street, but most people don't talk about it.
House of Mayhem is talking about it. House of Mayhem is a new tv series about LGBTQ youth in the foster system. It gives today's teens hope that they will find acceptance and love.
We speak with creator/writer David Pumo about the plight of LGBTQ youth.
We also speak with actress Quei Tann, former America's Next Top Model contestant and one of the stars of House of Mayhem. The once homeless youth shares her story and inspires others to overcome it.
