Those conservatives who throw their LGBTQ kids out of their homes to die, and cry over infanticide are HYPOCRITES 🙁
Laura Chaote recollects:
When I was 11 years old, I came out to my family and was no longer welcome in my home. After leaving my abusive home, I found myself eating out of trash cans and begging for food. Unfortunately, my story is not unusual but one of many. Members of the LGBTQ community are nearly twice as likely to experience food insecurity as other adults.
My experience with hunger and homelessness inspired me to make it my mission to help the LGBTQ community facing the same struggles I did, especially youth in need.
Now, I get to work toward that every day as a food pantry director in Oklahoma City. At our pantry, a partner of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, about 25% of the neighbors who visit the pantry identify as LGBTQ – and many are youth without housing.
There's a big problem in Oklahoma, and around the country, where parents disown and kick out their children after they come out as LGBTQ, leaving them homeless and unsure where to find food. Other LGBTQ youth find themselves without a home and food when they age out of the foster care system.

I wish they didn’t mistreat their own kids and disown them just coz they’re different. God has made them, just like he made us. So harming them in the name of God or religion is just wrong.
No matter what your religion.
