MILWAUKEE RADIO IS HOSTING DRAG
QUEEN BINGO, A FUNDRAISER TO
BENEFIT LGBTQ YOUTH.
MICHELLE IS THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
JOINING US THIS MORNING.
FIRST OF ALL, TALK ABOUT THIS
PROGRAM.
IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN DO
INSIDE AND STAY DRY?
>> WE ARE TO GO ON RAIN OR
SHINE.
IT IS HAPPENING AT THE BACKYARD
AND BABY WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT
OPEN SPACE, THEY HAVE 10 AND
THEY HAVE THINGS SET UP.
WE WILL GO ON RAIN OR SHINE.
FOR SURE.
CHERNEY: TALK ABOUT THIS EVENT
AND HOW IT BENEFITS LGBTQ YOUTH.
 EVERY SUNDAY AT 6:00 WE WILL
START WITH SOME FUN BINGO, HAVE
SOME FUN DRAG BINGO AND AFTER
THAT WE HAVE A BUNCH OF B
MOVIES.
REEFER MADNESS TONIGHT, CREATURE
FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
REALLY FUN OLD MOVIES AND STUFF.
DURING BINGO, THERE’S ALSO GOING
TO BE A CHANCE TO MAKE DONATIONS
AND A RAFFLE THAT HAS REALLY
COOL PRIZES LIKE HOTEL STAYS,
RESTAURANT GIFT CARDS, LIKE
THAT.
ALL OF THE MONEY THAT WE RAISED
IS GOING TO GO TO COURAGE HOUSE
WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT
ORGANIZATION.
BASICALLY, THEY ARE A HOME FOR
DISPLACED OR HOMELESS LGBTQ KIDS
AND THEY CAN GO TO THIS HOUSE
AND BE TAKEN CARE OF AND KNOW
THAT THEY HAVE SUPPORT AND THIS
PARTICULAR HOUSE IS FIVE AT A
TIME TO HELP THEM EARLY IN THEIR
LIFE ON TRACK.
>> TALKING LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
THAT, HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS
SPECIFICALLY JUST IN THE
COMMUNITY OVERALL, BUT ALSO, OF
COURSE, TO LGBTQ YOUTH.
>> IS REALLY IMPORTANT,
ESPECIALLY NOW WHERE THERE IS A
LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AND THERE IS
A LOT OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FOR
THINGS LIKE THAT THAT SOME OF
THESE YOUTH MIGHT FIND
THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE
THEY DON’T HAVE A HOME RIGHT NOW
WITH A HAVE BEEN UNFORTUNATELY
DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES,
WHETHER THAT IS BECAUSE OF
FINANCIAL ISSUES OR BECAUSE OF
EMOTIONAL ISSUES, WE WANT TO BE
THERE TO SUPPORT THEM.
THE COURAGE HOUSE GIVES THEM A
PLACE TO GO.
WE REALLY WANTED TO TAKE THE
TIME THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND
REALLY FOCUS ON THE LGBT
COMMUNITY AND ON COURAGE HOUSE.
CHERNEY: THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
JOINING US.
YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING NEW,
SOUNDS LIKE AN AWESOME EVENT TO
SUPPORT.
IF YOU WAN
