 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Effects
[edit]Homelessness is a common effect among LGBT youth during the coming out process. LGBT youth are among the largest population of homeless youth; this has typically been caused by the self-identification and acknowledgment of being gay or identifying with the LGBT community. About 20% to 30% of homeless youth identify as LGBT. The Native/Indigenous LGBTQ youth is the largest population to have experienced homelessness at 44%, compared to any other race. [1] 55% of homeless LGBQ and 67% of homeless transgender youth were forced out of their homes by their parents or run away because of their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. Compared to transgender women and non binary youth, transgender men have the highest percentage of housing instability. [1] Homelessness among LGBT youth also impacts many areas of an individual's life, leading to higher rates of victimization, depression, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and participation in more illegal and dangerous activities. A 2016 study on homelessness pathways among Latino LGBT youth found that homelessness among LGBT individuals can also be attributed to structural issues like systems of care and sociocultural and economic factors.
New data has been collected by Amit Paley who is the CEO and executive director of the Trevor Project in regards to how the Covid-19 Pandemic affected the LGBTQ youth. The 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health shows that Covid-19 had made 80% of the LGBTQ youth housing situation much more stressful due to the economic struggles, initially impacting safe and secure housing [2].
Media
[edit]Depictions of coming out
The film Love, Simon, based on the book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, debuted in 2018 and is the first major studio film about a gay teenager coming out.
Recently there has been a second adaption playing off of the Love, Simon film and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda book called Love, Victor on Hulu [3]. This series originally aired in 2020 and premiered its third season in 2022. The series continued and expanded its original story with another young and closeted student.
