gay, lesbian and transgender youth make up at least 20 percent — possibly as much as 40 percent — of the total number of homeless and runaway youth

It being that homosexuals make up less than 2% of the population, this number seems a bit implausible, but it gets better: This is Bush's fault...

(wait for it)
(wait for it)

The report also expressed concern that President Bush's push for federal funding of faith-based organizations might lead to situations where a church-run shelter program would discriminate against a gay youth seeking services.

Two random incidents are enough to condemn all private charities as far as the buttsex comunity is concerned. Pathetic.

[Two national advocacy groups Tuesday accused the federal government of neglecting what they described as an epidemic of homelessness affecting tens of thousands of gay and lesbian youth, many of whom leave home because of conflicts with their parents.]

We should make it a crime for gay and lesbian youths to be homeless. That would solve the problem.

Why did I read this again?

[L98Fiero]

Wow. Not one word about the drug abuse that permeates the "lifestyle" and leads to this "homelessness".

[xcamel]

last I knew "running away" was a choice, so the "pro homosexual agenda" must be causing all this homelessness.

[wolfcreek]

OK, I guess a couple of those homeless Lesbians could move into my house.

[wideawake]

the total number of homeless and runaway youth, a fluid population which experts have estimated at 575,000 to 1.6 million each year

In other words, 8% of all children in America between the ages of 12-17 are runaways living on the street.

There's a believable statistic.

[HOTTIEBOY]

There is an easy fix for this.

Send them all a self-help brocure with one page that says:

GET A JOB!

[RichInOC]

Okay, somebody tell Barney Frank to stop hopping up and down and yelling "I've got room! I've got room!"

[dynachrome]

Maybe Michael Jackson can help.

[Heavy Fuel]

Who else can they blame for being gay and homeless? Themselves?

[expatpat]

The GNL groups have plenty of money for lobbying, etc. Why don't they spend it on these kids, instead?

[Adder]

Homeless gay youth?

An answer looking for a question.

What are there...all of 3?

[Spit]

[rovenstinez]

Just what HAS the National Gay and Lesbian groups done to help? Looks like they would be glad to offer a helping.........hand.

[kinoxi]

They want special subsidies for people because they're gay. You'll end up with a lot of homeless people lying to get special treatment and the queers ostracizing them. It wouldn't be discrimination, no...

[DBrow]

"discriminate against a gay youth seeking services."

Advice to the billions of homeless gay runaway youths:

When you seek the help you most assuredly deserve, don't start the conversation by saying I'M GAY I DEMAND HELP

Then the awful bigots will be forced to treat you like every other homeless runaway.

The slickness of the article is pretty good. Redefining "runaway" as homeless, and calling for special attention because some are homosexual. This will appeal to any liberal.

[ConservaTexan]

"survival sex" — exchanging sex for money, food, clothes or drugs.

Nice to see that drugs are now considered necessary for one's survival.

Do you know how to tell you are getting AIDS?

SHOW ME THE MONEY. 'Cuz this is what this BS report is all about:

>>>The report also expressed concern that President Bush's push for federal funding of faith-based organizations might lead to situations where a church-run shelter program would discriminate against a gay youth seeking services.<<<

You know how these parasitical "touchy feelys" work? EIGHT misfit bleeding hearts work in "the community" and get paid to help maybe THREE kids. The other five write the reports, run the office, hold the meetings, etc. They have gov't welfare jobs, and then they have the nerve to inflate the number in this bogus report. If they get TWO million, how many kids will actually be helped? Far less that the bleeding hearts who have a job thanks to the very kids themselves.
