Gay Youth Face Increased Homelessness

Not that many of us need any more on a daily basis to make us furious, but just in case you're looking for another hit of "this world is so fucked up I cannot stand it another minute," check out this article in today's NYT about homeless gay youth.

It's grim, people...very grim. (And don't forget to check out the interactive feature for an even more powerful kick in the gut.)
