“Anyone But Me” is a popular LGBT youth oriented webseries. The series has won numerous awards for it’s portrayal of New York City lesbian teen Vivian McMillian (Rachel Hip-Flores) and her struggle with her sexuality and navigating the already tricky high school social scene. The series has received accolades not only for their portrayal of LGBT teens and straight allies, but also for their complex exploration of racial dynamics in high school. Despite the heavy subject matter, the series is also at times humorous and always engaging. The good news? They are hosting a webathon!

The Web-A-Thon will run in a three part series airing July 27th through 29th online at 4:00 PM EST. It will be hosted by entertainment reporter Lisa Bernhard, the Thon will feature guest appearances by your favorite ABM actors. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Ali Forney Center, the largest agency dedicated to providing housing and services to homeless LGBT youth in NYC. The rest will go to support the show and keep it in production. This series promotes acceptance of LGBT youth in a medium that is appealing to teens across the country. Given the recent controversy where teen Constance McMillen was kept from attending her school prom because she was a lesbian, this series is really more important than ever.
