I'm sure the people that own these homes would be glad to take them in. (snicker)
Sounds like another inflated, liberal pseudo-statistic.
Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Change your lifestyle and improve your status.
Ever meet a homosexual with a warm affectionate,Loving, present mother and father? Hmmm I have not. Most of the ones I know homosexuality is a survival skill.

Choices have consequences.
4 in 4 gay/lesbian high school students are homos.
Why they should all get together and group marry each other and have a big, happy family. Of course male anal pregnancies are extremely rare and lesbo love is only carpet deep so the newborn chilrens are never borned.
Tends to give proof of the nurture vs nature argument of homosexuality
I bet they are mostly male, and as young homosexuals the street life is an oyster shell of plentiful sex and endless partners and overnight stays and easy cash.
Because most abandon their families to go and live by the nearest Gay bars and bath houses....Only to find out that having sex 24/7 doesn’t pay the bills.
there was a study a few weeks ago that also showed that 30-40% gay and lesbian youths were raped with intercourse before age 12, and that fifty percent of them had “forced intercourse’....the study also included bad health habits like drinking sodapop, and I had to email the writer to find where the statistic that showed the statistic on male gay vs female gays...(that was on page 41, she emailed back)...
You don’t just go “homeless”, and one doubts the parents threw them out for being gay (in Massachusetts). So why are they homeless? Is dad absent and mom on drugs? Did they run away? Are these runaways from outside Boston who now work as prostitutes?
The point is that if this is true, it means that maybe gay youth have more social problems than normal, and maybe the abuse caused them to chose to be gay. (I suspect some of my lesbian patients chose that lifestyle because they had been abused by men as children).
Another thought: We are also told in another study that gay children’s mental health is normal.
The subject needs to be checked, but alas too many studies just try to confirm the pc theories.
Isn’t it also statistically true that a large percentage of the homeless street people are mentally ill?
Are runaways considered “homeless,” as if someone besides themselves removed them from their home?
Perhaps it is directly related to why so many homeless adults are mentally ill?
Yes. Because their parents threw them out.
But the cardboard boxes they sleep in are fabulous!!
Many homeless are mentally ill, addicts, so how many of these teens fall into this category?
There is a need to study the reasons of this phenomenon, if the number is correct. Were they thrown out by their parents? Or they ran away from home on their own conviction? From shame, emotional distress of parents’ treatment of them, or others?
My heart goes to those kids. Regardless one’s view on how a person becomes gay, I still find it sad. If one accepts that homosexual tendency is born, then parents couldn’t do anything about that. If one accepts that homosexual tendency is caused by environment, it means the parents are also responsible for their children (yes, teenagers are still children), so they should deal with the kids.
In any case, more information regarding the reasons they are homeless in the first place is needed.
IMHO, Gay and Lesbian teens are doing a lot of sexual experimentation (how otherwise would they know what they are) and a decent parent isn’t going to put up with that under their roof.
A real hidden secret of homosexuals is how they are sorely afflicted by both physical and psychological problems, that have little or nothing to do with their sexuality, at rates far higher than the percentage of heterosexuals with such problems.
To a great extent these problems are masked by the assumption that they *do* have something to do with their homosexuality. Which is hard to assert in that many of those problems are congenital, or even genetic.
In the case of homelessness, note that the study assumes that the *reason* they are homeless is because of their sexuality. But what if it isn’t?
To start with, I imagine that many of them are repeated “runaways”, who chose to leave their families, because they were very unhappy living with them in general. Others who ran away because they were engaging in other behavior intolerable to their family, such as abusing drugs and alcohol, stealing, or other non-sexual offenses.
And no doubt, some are homeless because they were kicked out of their parents home because of their sexuality.
