When Tristan Torres was 16 and placed in foster care after his mother kicked him out for being transgender, his new home was supposed to feel safe.
It didn’t.
“The first inkling I had that this wasn’t going to be good was when (my foster mother) refused to call me by my preferred pronoun,” Torres said. “It progressed from there.”
He is now advocating for creating legislation that would better protect LGBT youth in the foster care system.
“What I went through could have been prevented,” he said.
Torres, 19, is expected to testify about his experiences when Assembly Bill 99 is introduced Monday in the Health and Human Services committee.

This country has lost its way. We are now reaping the whirlwind from the social decline of past generations.
Milo says it best. Gays should get back in the closet, if they can’t stop their perversions.
You see what they just did to him.
She’s angry that people won’t call her a boy when she’s a girl. OH NOES, such huge scary bad problems. Reality is going to kick her butt when her tantrums stop working.
Are they also going to provide protection against abuse for straight kids being fostered by LGBQT adults?
When they went from blacks to African-Americans that was too much for me. I call them blacks. I am OK with LGBT I guess, but not LGBTQ. At this point the only acceptable addition is W, which would then stand for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-sexual, whatever.
Yup.
