According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, between 575,000 and 1.6 million young people are homeless and/or have runaway from home. While the total percentage of LGBT people among the population varies between three and five percent, 20 and 40% of the homeless youth identify as LGBT, highlighting the disproportionate amount of problems, such as discrimination and harassment, that LGBT youth faces today.
