Inner City Law Center celebrates #PrideMonth while working to create a better future for our LGBTQ+ co-workers & clients every day. Fact: LGBTQ+ people are far more likely to experience homelessness than their straight counterparts. Did you know that 1 in 4 LGBTQ youth reported experiencing homelessness or housing instability? We must do better for our community. Support anti-discriminatory policies and LGBTQ+ targeted resources to change the narrative. #Pride #GayPride #lgbtyouth #lgbtqia #queer
