Not Exactly a Profile in Courage: New York Finally Passes Gay Marriage

More recently, Bloomberg destroyed the Advantage program, which helped people in NYC shelters pay for subsidized apartments. It was, according to Kate Barnhart of New Alternatives for LGBT Homeless Youth, “pretty much the only path to housing for many of the LGBT youth in city shelters, since it’s impossible to save up enough to pay market rents with a minimum wage job.” Swanning around Albany and making a big speech at Cooper Union may have been good for Bloomberg’s ego, but did nothing, ultimately, to sway legislators.

As New Yorkers, we know that we live in a city that embraces all people. Regardless of where they come from or who they are, there is a place for everybody. Some lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth who live in other parts of the country where they are not necessarily accepted or understood, know this about New York and end up putting all of their chips on the chance to live in a place where they are not only free to be who they are, but are encouraged to do so. Kids across the country find themselves kicked out of their homes because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, or forced to flee their communities because of harassment or a lack of support.
