WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Appoint an Advisor on LGBT Youth Issues
Our country has seen tremendous growth in regards to the acceptance of
minority groups, but research shows that LGBT youth continue to go through
struggles both at school and home. Some of these struggles consist of
bullying, physical abuse, insolation and lack of support. These issues have
resulted in elevated percentages of LGBT youth that drop out of school,
become homeless, abuse drugs and even commit suicide.
Many times these youth don’t have support within the home, which
contributes to one in every two LGBT youth being rejected by their parents.
In 30% of cases, parents will kick their kids out of their own house,
attributing to the fact that 40% of all homeless youth are LGBT.
I am in strong support of seeing the White House appoint a youth to focus on
issues these youth face.
