Paul Carlos Southwick: LGBTQ children . are often deprived of a safe and stable placement. True Colors Day is a national day devoted to increasing awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) youth who experience homelessness. Some of the roots of this homelessness crisis are intertwined with the failures of foster care systems across the country, including here in Oregon, to meet the needs of LGBTQ children in their care and support youth who are aging out of foster care. Forty percent of homeless foster children identify as LGBTQ, and of those, approximately 30% report aging out of the child welfare system into homelessness.
