There are quite a numbers of stories 'out there' where a character is made homeless by being thrown out of the parents home, often as a reaction to an admission of gay orientation. Clearly this is a useful premise on which to hang a story, but I wonder how common it is in real life especially given the changes in social attitudes over the last ten- twenty years. I suspect the causes of homelessness are more varied and multilayered, for example substance/ alcohol abuse , poverty, unemployment, criminal activity to name a few. Has anyone on the forum any experience in this field? Is rejection (still?)a significant factor in practice? Is there any indication of variation in frequency reported by different nationalities of respondents? And of the efficacy of response of the relevant authorities?

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
