Bill,

Journal of Gay & Lesbian Social Services (Volume 1, 3/4) Harworth Press,
1994

also titled _Helping Gay and Lesbian Youth: New Policies, New Programs, New
Practice_, ed. DeCrescenzo

There are several service organizations helping les-gay-bi-trans and
questioning youth, in Boston, MA there is GLASS, run by JRI
www.jri.org/programs.html , as well as the Sydney Borum Health Center,
addressing the health needs of homeless runaway youth. They may be
collecting data of interest. There is also the Hetrick-Martin Institute in
New York which has published data regarding its work with gay and lesbian
youth.

If you need any more help email me back channel I do have, but cannot put my
hands on a rather dated but extensive bibliography on gay and lesbian youth
I developed in 1995. This link should get you started:

Good Luck,

Richard Fay MSW
