Lack of Family Acceptance

The lack of family acceptance is a leading cause of LGBTQ2S youth homelessness. Most LGBTQ2S youth are treated with a lack of acceptance from family members. This leads to a young person getting kicked out of their homes and as a result become homeless. This is definitely the leading cause to LGBTQ2S youth homelessness since they wouldn’t be homeless if they had support from their families. Lack of acceptance can also influence a youth to believe that they are “loving the wrong person” and that “loving the wrong person” can ultimately cost their relationship with their family.
