Closed Create Government Funded LGBTQ+ Homeless Shelters Across the UK

Closed on

The LGBTQ+ young people of the UK who are thrown out of their own homes have nowhere to go except homeless shelters where they could be just as at risk from homophobia and/or transphobia as in their homes
This petition calls on the government to take action to protect the LGBTQ+ community of the UK

24% of homeless young people identify as LGBTQ+ (around 1 in 4).
(www.akt.org.uk)

There is just one permanent LGBTQ+ shelter in the UK.
