Young, gay and homeless in L.A.

Homeless youth in Los Angeles are disproportionately LGBT, with one study finding 40% of homeless people in Hollywood younger than 25 identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or questioning, while 5% said they are transgender. 

"If I could be invisible, I would. I feel ashamed to admit that I'm homeless," said one gay homeless person.
