This report examines the challenge of tackling intersecting inequalities in policy and practice, specifically regarding LGBT youth homelessness (those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, etc). There is a dearth of research, law and policy that tackles LGBT homelessness, especially regarding how gender, race and sexuality can compound, increasing chances of homelessness. Furthermore, the challenge of tackling intersecting inequalities in policy and practice is understanding how intersecting disadvantage leads to complex situations, often not sufficiently targeted in policy, practice and law. Specifically, this report examines how sexuality, race and gender together can increase the likelihood of homelessness and adverse experiences while homeless, demonstrating a need for better targeted policy, law and practice.
