Show me some actual statistics on "panic defense" and how effective that actually is. Hint: It doesn't work.
Also show me a real study that shows 40% of all homeless are gay, and it's because mommy and daddy/society didn't accept them.

But she was saying they were homeless [i]because[/i] they were gay. Which was my point, yes there are that many but you can't solely lay that blame at societies feet, that is irresponsible.

Which was my point, yes there are that many but you can't solely lay that blame at societies feet, that is irresponsible.[/quote]Well considering the number of kids who are kicked out and cut off from their families because they're gay, I don't see how that's not something to be concerned about.

do you know what statistics are? this means 60% of homeless youth are straight or normal. This clearly is not a gay issue

[quote]do you know what statistics are? this means 60% of homeless youth are straight or normal. This clearly is not a gay issue[/quote]So because not a majority of LGBT kids are homeless, we shouldn't be concerned about it?

[quote]im saying its not a GAY RIGHTS issue when everyone is suffering regardless of gender, race, etc[/quote]But it is a LGBT issue when you're discriminated against for being LGBT.

[quote]if 60% of these kids are NOT gay then its not a -blam!-in hate crime you twat[/quote]I'm not talking about hate crimes. A disproportionate number of homeless youths are LGBT. They make up, what, 5% of the population, but 40% of the homeless youths? That's a problem.
