Last night Kim and I attended the 12th Annual Cracked Christmas Gala at the Wiltern in LA to benefit the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a non-profit endeavor that was created to promote acceptance for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and to help in suicide prevention and any other sort of crisis among that group.
It was established by the filmmakers of the 1998 HBO movie "Trevor" about a gay teen who is rejected by his friends because of his sexuality and contemplates taking his own life. The filmmakers thought it would be a good idea to provide some sort of helpline for this sort of crisis while the film aired, but unfortunately one didn't exist, so they created their own.
The Trevor Helpline is the first and only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. Check out their website for more information!
Kim and I had a great time -- these sorts of events are our favorite to attend!
