This makes me mad, cop on people.
Looking at some of the facts written by Lucky S. Michaels on LGBTQ people in New York. Shelter by Michaels is such a great book everyone should buy it or take a loan from a library.
- Within the 5 boroughs of NYC there are estimated 30,000 homeless youth
- Each year approximately 5,000 homeless and runaway youth die from assault, illness and suicide
- About one third of transgendered people earn $10,000 per year or less. 29% have no employment
- Half of all LGBTQ youth report that their parents rejected them. Over one quarter of LGBTQ youth are forced to leave home because of conflict over their sexual orientation
- Queer youth are 7 times more likely to be the victim of crime than their heterosexual counterparts
