Original Note:
Although research has shown that homeless youth are disproportionately LGBTQ+, 70%+ is wildly inaccurate. The actual number is much closer to 20-40% depending on the study. Some studies even have it as low as 11%. https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/youth/LGBTQ/research.php#:~:text=LGBTQ%20youth%20are%20also%20disproportionately,LGBTQ%2C%20nearly%20ten%20times%20higher. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/new-report-shows-homelessness-housing-instability-linked-to-increased-suicide-risk-among-lgbtq-youth/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_among_LGBTQ_youth_in_the_United_States
