History of Feminism

I have a new hero today.

Everything you've shared is so important though I'd like to elaborate a bit on one aspect of your story -- children on the streets who were victims of abuse at home and in particular, LGBT youth. Homelessness among LGBT youngsters is epidemic and many of them suffered abuse at home before being tossed into the streets where they are vulnerable to further abuse, alcohol and drug problems, prostitution, STDs, rape, et al. Everyone can help by bringing this issue to light as it is basically ignored because these children aren't valued, not by their families nor by society.

Here are some of the posts on this subject, with stats and information:

Thank you again SO MUCH for sharing your story.

Edited to add: A link to one of your threads which tells the story of one such young man. I remember it well.
