ARE YOU HOMELESS BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS DON'T LIKE YOUR SEXUALITY?
Did your parents beat you, verbally abuse you, withdrawal their financial support, force you to go to church, or in any way harm you, forcing you to run away from home because you are Gay, Bisexual, Transgendering, or QUESTIONING whether or not you are heterosexual?

HOMELESS BOYCOTT OF 7/11 AT TUJUNGA and MAGNOLIA NORTH HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA
Because the owners of this 7/11 are "members" of the local SAFETY AMBASSADORS (harassers and spies on the homeless who are interfering with LAPD doing their job : call the North Hollywood police station and just ask!) WE ARE SUGGESTING YOU BOYCOTT THIS STORE.
This is one of the busiest 7/11 stores in Los Angeles, not far from the Red and Orange lines and other public transportation and the homeless have a presence in the surrounding area.
Recently, the people running the store called the SAFETY AMBASSADORS on a senior citizen, dressed clean and showered, who had been let out of a local hospital with a limb still wrapped up.
The man had called 211 hours before and was in the light of the 7/11 rather than in the dark of the park waiting for social services to come and take him to a shelter for the night.

STOP ORLANDO LAWSUIT ACLU DEFENDING PARK FEEDS
Man's inhumanity to Man is displayed in city laws that prevent FEEDS in parks. The city of Orlando Florida, which lives around DISNEY WORLD and tourism, doesn't want any homeless people - or the poor but housed - to be fed in public parks. THE ACLU is taking them to court and MAY THE ACLU WIN FOR US!
Thank you "Jerry" for alerting us!

ARE YOU JUST OUT OF PRISON and CHALLENGED BY DRINKING OR DRUGS?
"THEY'RE ALL CRIMINALS!" ("SO THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GET!") THAT'S WHAT A lOT OF NORMIES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US.
Just out of prison, many people, especially men, are not welcomed back to their families. They return to the park nearest their old neighborhood, or they attempt to use a shelter as a parole address. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A JOB WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD is part of this cycle of homelessness.
This is what we suggest to you!
#1 DO NOT GO RIGHT INTO A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM if you have your wits about you.
#2 DO GET INTO A SHELTER - AFTER REHAB IF NECESSARY.
#3 WHILE IN THE SHELTER GET A MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT. START BY SIMPLY GOING TO A MFCC (TALK THERAPIST). IF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH A REHAB PROGRAM get weekly MFCC therapy ONGOING. ALSO JOIN AA***, NA, Etc
#4 DO NOT GO BACK INTO YOUR OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IF THERE WAS DRUG DEALING or USE INVOLVED IN YOUR CASE. AVOID ANY ASSOCIATION WITH DRUGS! (We know it's difficult but see AA or NA!)
#5 STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR PAROLE OFFICER. KEEP TO THE TERMS OF YOUR PROBATION.
#6 EVERYONE IS LONELY BUT A JOB IS THE PRIORITY NOT HAVING A BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND! JUST KEEPING BUSY AT ANY HONEST JOB - EVEN FAST FOOD - IS A START!
