"Rather than live in a home where he is rejected for being gay or transgender, a child will choose to live on the streets, or even purposely acquire a deadly disease like HIV to find safe housing.Several years ago, social workers reported that youth living under state care who identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender were leaving foster care and group homes, even though the street was their only alternative, says director of the Boston area Waltham House.
The only other safe housing option for them was to find housing for teens who were HIV-positive, he said.
"There was a trend where kids were deliberating contracting HIV to find a place that was safe for them," stated the program director.
That disturbing problem was one of the major reasons The Home for Little Wanderers opened the house for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens in October 2002, he said." (Continue reading-Source/the Daily News Tribune)
