 Every year, tens of thousands of youth experience homelessness. I didn't know how they were going to react. I just told my mom that I was gay. One in four LGBT youth who come out to their parents is told to leave home. She wanted to go and talk to my dad about this. He started reproaching me, telling me that he didn't raise someone gay. I started going to my grandma's house to sleep over. She kicked me out too. Runaway and homeless youth are often victims of commercial sex.
