The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community will hold a rally at Union Square, New York on Oct. 24 at 6 pm to demand safe shelter for every homeless youth in NYC.
Thousands of LGBT youth face homophobia at younger ages. Many are rejected by their families and driven from their homes. LGBT youths suffering homelessness on the streets face terrible risk of HIV infection, physical and sexual assault and suicide.
In 2008, a census of homeless youth in NYC found that every night almost 4000 youth are without stable housing.
