That is so sad... In my opinion, people who lives on the streets are usually low educated not everyone but I think that's the one of reasons that they have to live on the streets. And from my experiences people who are low educated are usually homophobic. So I wasn't so surprised by gay people getting beat up. But it was very shocking to know that the workers at those shelters would allow those things and they even would join!! I know a guy who is contributing to one of those shelters. I was thinking if I could do something like him and after reading this article I know I will do something when I begin to work and make money. Hopefully it's gonna change soon...cuz it's just sad.
