IssueLab, a website whose goal is to bring nonprofit research into focus, has a new June round-up-- an online collection of nongovernmental research on LGBTQ youth.
The research touches on issues like how to build safe school environments for LGBTQ youth; disproportionate rates of homelessness; how racism and homophobia impact LGBTQ kids of color; and suicidal ideation and attempts. The collection includes work from organizations like GLSEN, Advocates for Youth, and the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League.
