An artist named Heezy Yang went out to different locations in Seoul to demonstrate what it is like for LGBT youths to have their families reject them and kick them out of their homes. He put various items in boxes with written labels revealing why they were thrown out. A stuffed bunny doll was thrown out because "it only has one eye." A puppy doll signifying a dog is thrown out, "because my owner is moving away." Heezy Yang sits in his own box that reads, "because I am gay." All the donations he collected during the street performance went to a center for LGBT youth.
