“Just under 16% of participants reported that they are currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness. In addition to this figure, over 40% have indicated they have previously been at risk of homelessness. These findings replicate the findings of a 2019 survey conducted by the Victorian Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby that found that 45% of LGBTI people over 50 had either experienced homelessness or had been at-risk of homelessness. This suggests that older LGBTI people experience homelessness at higher rates and are at greater risk of homelessness than their heterosexual counterparts.”
At risk is the important factor here, and one not helped by either the sensational headline nor the accompanying myth perpetuating image.
