Roughly 1 in 4 lesbian or gay teens and 15 percent of bisexual teens are homeless, versus 3 percent of exclusively heterosexual teens, finds a Children’s Hospital Boston study of more than 6,300 Massachusetts public high school students.

1 in 4 gay\/lesbian high school students are homeless<\/a><\/p>\n

That is 25% of Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual Youth in the state of Massachusetts are without a home. As Brian Resnick points in The Atlantic<\/a>, this does not mean that these teens are living in the streets (in fact, many could be staying with friends or relatives), but that they lack a stable home and a permanent address. I would speculate there is a chance most of these teens were actually kicked out by parents due to their sexuality and, as a result, are homeless.<\/p>\n
