Vanguard was a group composed of LGBTQ+ youth and others residing on the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin district. It embraced gender nonconforming identities and championed improved treatment for the most marginalized individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. Vanguard made an immediate impact by enlightening their community about their viewpoints and experiences, increasing public awareness of their distinct identities, and effectively advocating for federal funding to support essential community resources.


Contains upper and lower body nudity, descriptions of sex, conversations of hate crimes, and police brutality.
