Do queers make up half of homeless teenagers?

An unprecedented, perceptive, and humanizing NYT story on the rising numbers of homeless gay teenagers in New York:

"As hundreds of thousands of people flock to New York today for the annual celebration of the 1969 Stonewall uprising and the birth of the modern gay rights movement, few are likely to give a moment's thought to their homeless brethren, a growing legion of the disowned and the dispossessed, most of them black and Latino, an increasing number of them H.I.V. positive and still in the throes of adolescence."
