Yesterday was pretty much a washout, but I did see a couple of films in the Gay Charlotte Film Festival. One of those films was "BrocKINGton," the documentary about Blake Brockington. The short documentary gives a glimpse into the life of the transgender youth who committed suicide last month. The documentary is a starting point for a much needed community effort to make our place where we stop losing our transgender youth.
