Should I let my young m2f friend live with me?

I know a kid who wants to come to the US and work as a bartender. I just happen to have a spare room. We're good friends but no one else knows of him because he's gay transgender mtf and I'm pretty sure my family and friends would be like wtf? Between the work visa issues, family and friend issues, and general fears of discrimination I've not yet said yes. Just feels like it would go badly. Sucks too because he's a great kid. Age 26.
