Had so much fun sharing Thanksgiving at the Ali Forney Center in Brooklyn! This center protects LGBT Youth from the harms of homelessness and empowers them to reclaim their lives. Each year the Ali Forney Center provides care for over 1,200 youth who are rejected by their family due to their LGBT identity. AFC provides these youth with tools they need to become independent and more importantly, AFC provides these youth with the love and support they are denied by their families. Because everyone deserves to be loved and everyone deserves a home. 💘🙏🏻💙!!!

So great that Madonna spent Thanksgiving at the Ali Forney Center, a wonderful charity. Carl Siciliano works like a dog to help homeless LGBT youth, so often forgotten by their own community after being shunned by their own families.

Madonna's caption on a joyous Instagram photo — posted after the holiday, so as not to make it a PR thing/fan stampede — reads:

Also just found out that Lady Gaga went the day after, singing and meditating with the kids:
