"WELCOME TO HOMELESS YOUTH SERVICES! We provide emergency shelter to homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City. A 2006 report from the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force estimates that a third of homeless youth identify as LGBT. In New York City, this means that something like 8,000 to 10,000 youth are without shelter every night. This has led many to refer to this as an "epidemic" of homelessness among LGBTQ youth."

I have teenagers … some kids deserve to be homeless.
Re: She-Ra!!!COLON!!! Princess of Power – For every LGBTQ youth who is homeless there are multiple adults who have FAILED to rise to the challenge of meeting the needs of these youth. Your comment is grossly insensitive and offensive as associated with this post.
It's unfortunate that any parent could run their child out of the house because of their sexual orientation. I thought it was the year 2009, not 1929! With all this equality talk after Obama being elected, you'd think people would wake up and mean it for ALL PEOPLE! Not just a select few!
NO KID DESERVES TO BE HOMELESS.
Alot of parents "disown" their children because of their orientation. What ever happened to loving children no matter what. If I was fortunate enough to have children, I would do everything I could to keep them off the streets. At least someone is looking out for them.
Thanks for posting this! I think its such a worthwhile cause. I'm filling out a volunteer application right now. You should have a permanent link to the site so that it will not be forgotten amongst all the juicy celeb gossip.
homelessness is seriously so random! i like dont get it
No need to donate. Obama is on the case. Why should I give to charity since OBAMA is going to penalize us? Besides as fucking OBAMA for your welfare now, you've robbed us producers - GO ASK OBAMA for your money now! BESIDES, how sick is this organization with the gay teenagers in it?!?
