Lady Gaga's Visit with LGBT Homeless Youth Will Break and Warm Your Heart

Lady Gaga teamed up with the Today Show as part of the show's "#ShareKindness" series to spread joy and love this holiday season to some kids who really need it. 

The bisexual superstar surprised some LGBT homeless youth at the Ali Forney Center in Harlem with lots of presents, a few songs, and some personal stories.

"What is really important to remind kids who are suffering from a traumatic experience or abandonment is to remind them that they are not alone and they are loved."

One of the youths said, "Lady Gaga's act of kindness today was a reminder that love does still exist and that there is still some for me."

The Ali Forney Center is the largest LGBT community center helping LGBT homeless youth in the United States, according to the organization's website. The AFC helps approximately 1,000 youths every year, most between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four years old. 

Ali Forney was a homeless gender-nonconforming youth who was murdered in the streets of Harlem in 1997. The Center was named after Ali and their legacy when it opened in 2002, according to the AFC website. 

Sitting cross-legged in a circle on the floor, Gaga told the young people about how she suffers from PTSD after she was raped at the age of 19, something she says she hid for seven years. "My own trauma in my life has helped me understand the trauma of others."

"I told the kids today I suffer from a mentall ilness. I suffer from PTSD. I have never told anyone that before but here we are," Gaga said in a video posted below.

But Gaga's overall message was one of hope. She communicated to the viewers at home the importance of sharing love and kindness this holiday season. "And those of us that have should give to those who have not during the holidays. Do one kind act before the end of the year. Just be kind. The act itself is free. -- and it's priceless."
