Quote:Homelessness is a primary driver for LGBTQ teens turning to survival sex, according to the report. It cites national statistics showing that as many as 50 percent of homeless or runaway youth trade sex for shelter or for money to provide shelter for themselves, and that 48 percent of transgender people involved in sex work overall also report experiencing homelessness. A 2007 study of LGBTQ teens in New York revealed that LGBTQ youth were seven times more likely to have traded sex for shelter than heterosexual teens, and that transgender teens were eight times more likely.

Researchers also found that more than half of the respondents (54 percent) used any earnings from survival sex to buy food first. While conducting interviews for the study, Dank recalls how often the research team ordered pizza for the subjects. "I can't tell you how many of them had not eaten in more than 24 hours," she says. "They were weak. They didn't have a dollar for a slice of pizza."

One of the study's participants, a 21-year-old black, gay male, explained plainly how he first became involved survival-sex trading:

I don’t remember it that vividly, all I know is just that I was starving. …My friend was like, “come to the stroll trust me, you'll get somebody.” I was hungry, I was cold, so I did it.

They don't a lot a data on the participants, but the 21 y.o. you mentioned in the snip only needed to go down to his local Navy recruiter to improve his circumstances. a lot of these young men seem to affected by a lack of information more than anything else.

So ultimately, they can thank themselves for not doing something to better themselves. Never mind the military or a job when it's so much easier to go catch AIDS for a bed to sleep in.

Ironically, the downfall of a gay's survival will be the fact that a gay can't reproduce.

It's apparent that you haven't read many of the posts here. It's irrelevant that a gay can't reproduce they all say that they can adopt. And many thread of this is that once they get a child that they will endeavor to change them to their sexual deviancy.

Some queer is even starting a gay school and thinks it's perfectly normal. That's the problem THEY think it's normal and as such try to brainwash others to this "normalcy".

The only place that Homosexuality will cease is in the Arab countries and gays know that. But surprisingly they still defend the Muslim world. Not too bright these gays.

Sex always means survival. Without it a species dies.

Hate to break it to you Nancy but even in the middle east you find gays. And you always will.

So you're saying that God create Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve? What a hater!

As compared to America, however, gays here will live once discovered.

Gays prey on the young. Color me surprised.

I'm trying to think of what it would take for me to throw my teenager out of my house.

Being gay wouldn't ring the bell.

A much greater percentage of the homeless, versus those who are not homeless, have severe mental illnesses. Although there are some parents who might make children leave for a variety of issues (defiant behavior, wrong moral choices, etc.) the majority of homeless teens aren't "thrown out" by their parents.

But regardless of the reasons why teens are homeless, this article seems to be stating that a greater percentage of LGBTQ teens are homeless.

Perhaps there is a connection between mental illness and being LGBTQ, since so many more LGBTQ teens evidently are homeless and having sex with people they don't know and we already know that a much higher percentage of the homeless (regardless of gender identity) have severe mental health issues...

Humanity is on the path towards sex not being the sole mean of reproduction, and we'll likely reach that point within this century. We're already somewhat there with vitro-fertilization. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but a few weeks ago the UK approved a "3-parent baby" law; it allows for a vitro-fertilization technique that literally takes the DNA of three people to create a child. It was passed in order to prevent mitochondrial diseases, but critics have argued the law basically opens the door to "designer babies."

Regardless of ethical opinions, the science behind it is remarkable.

First I'll say this. If you're a lesbian, you're gay. If you're bisexual, you're gay. If you're a tranny, you're gay. If you're a queer, you're gay. I've never understood the whole initial plethora they've got going on. That's like me saying I belong to the CWIINA (Caucasian White Italian Irish Native American) community, knowing damn good and well that they're all considered white...

Second, the gay teens being homeless is more than likely due to the teens not wanting to be under the control of strict parents like we all were. And we turned out normal.

Spermatogenesis in a test tube is already a thing. Tons of literature:

Perfect. I guess the next "offensive" term will be calling someone a test tube baby.
