DESCRIPTION:AMERICA'S MOST UNWANTED, from award-winning filmmaker Shani Heckman, 
 reveals untold stories of homophobia in the foster care system in the 
 country’s most gay-friendly state: California. California is also one of 
 the first states to pass the Foster Care Achievement Act and A.B.12, which 
 will allow foster youth access to care until age 21. For decades, policy 
 changes have been making life better for foster youth, but as bullying 
 campaigns across the country have shown, life needs to be improved for LGBT 
 youth at all levels. \n\nLGBTQ foster youth are often kicked out of their 
 homes for identifying as LGBTQ and then enter state-sanctioned homes that 
 treat them even worse: “75% of LGBTQI foster youth in state care had 
 experienced physical abuse, 66% preferred to live on the streets” \n\nA 
 panel discussion following the screening will enable participants to 
 interact directly with foster youth and their supporters. Local 
 organizations, Family Builders & Larkin Street Youth Center, will be on 
 hand to provide LGBT adoption information.\n\nsponsored by El Rio, Bay Area
