Why aren't there homeless services for gay people?

I live in a city that offers all kinds of services for factions of homeless (Vets, Asians, Blacks, Disabled, etc) but no specific services for gay people. We have a great community center and even they can't answer my question so I throw it out to all of you wise wonderful bunnies.

    Maybe your city doesn't separate LGBT from other groups. They are probably integrated into the homeless population. That might be a good thing...equal rights to the services.

    I guess you'll have to just be treated the same as everyone else

    And not be segregated because of your sexuality

    I think that the government assume thats what gay people want so you should write a letter explaining you would like to be treated differently co otherwise this blind equality will continue.

    and you will continue to judged by your personality rather than your sexuality

    i would think that would be the way most gay people want it

    but i could be wrong

    Why would homeless gay people need seperate shelters from straight homeless people.

    Isn't putting an end to segregation what everyone is fighting for? Why have a gay homeless service and a straight homeless service? That makes no sense to me.

    It would be sort of odd to worry about someone based soley on their sexual behavior, but it's a kind thing to do. Start something if you're passionate about the idea.

    They're just integrated. Don't make a big deal about it because then the homophobes will think you want "special treatmant".
