A disproportionate variety of lesbian, gay, bisexual as well as transgender (LGBT) persons experience being homeless annually in the United States, although the precise number is unknown. Among these persons are about 320,000 to 400,000 young people (Quintana, Rosenthal, and Kehely, 2010).1 For instance, in Massachusetts public secondary schools greater than one-third of homeless students have either a minority sexual preference or are not sure of their sexual preference (Corliss, Goodenow, Nichols, and Austin, 2011). It has likewise been recorded that LGBT young people make up about 30-- 45.
