    BOSTON, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- It's tough enough to be a teenager
today, but for Boston teens who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender,
it can be traumatic. They often deal with homophobic bullying, have
alarmingly high school-dropout rates, and many are homeless.

    But a unique new program created by Justice Resource Institute (JRI), a
nonprofit provider that advocates on behalf of children and adults who
experience the greatest barriers to social justice, may give these young
people hope.
