NY: LGBTQ students more likely to face bullying, homelessness
New York Daily News – September 20, 2017
Bullying and homelessness are far more likely to impact lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning students compared to heterosexual kids, a new report shows. Using data from the 2015 New York City Youth Risk Behavior Survey, the report published Wednesday by the city Department of Health found that 24% of LGBTQ students experienced bullying on school property, compared with 13% of non-LGBTQ youth.
