Homeless LGBT Youth Need Your Help
Tell Gov. Cuomo to Reinstate Funding for Homeless Youth
Although the LGBT community makes up a small percentage of the general population, the disparity in the number of LGBT homeless youth remains at a staggering 40 percent. Last year, millions of dollars were taken out of the State Budget that would have gone to support these homeless youth. Let's see more monies go towards homeless youth this year. Please sign this petition, and share it with your friends and family.
