Survey: 43% of Philly’s Homeless Youth are LGBTQ
This is sad to post, but according to a survey conducted by Valley Youth House, Covenant House, Project HOME, the Attic Youth Center, the Mazzoni Center, 43% of homeless youth in Philadelphia identify as LGBTQ.
Philly Mag reports:
According to Valley Youth House, they saw the survey’s results as a “resolve to expand its services to meet the demand of this underrepresented group with programs such as a shelter specifically for LGBTQIA young people and programs specifically for transgender youth.”This is just Philly, imagine other major cities.
"We are the only agency providing independent living support for homeless LGBTQIA youth in Philadelphia," said Allison Moore, Regional Director for Valley Youth House. "Our Pride program provides rapid rehousing along with life skills, education, and employment support to about 50 young people act year, though the demand for services is higher than we are able to meet."

The Philly Gay Bashers are Free on Bail
The three gay attackers who assaulted a gay couple in Center City, have been released on bail.
Philip Williams, Kathryn Knott and Kevin Harrigan left the police department around 3:30 this morning.
The two guys' bail was set at $75,000, while Kathryn's bail was posted as $50,000. They are all charged with criminal conspiracy and two counts each of aggravated and simple assault, and reckless endangerment.
No trail date set at this time, so you know, there's more to come.

3 Charged for Attacking Gay Couple in Center City, One of them is a Police Chief's Daughter
Remember that group of folks that attacked two gay guys in Center City/Philly? Well, 3 of them surrendered themselves in today.
However, here's the interesting part. The woman involved in the attack is the daughter of a local police chief! Her name is Kathryn Knott and she lives in Chalfont. This place is an upscale neighborhood, so you see where this is going. Rich White girl who's looking for a reason to be.
Anywho, Miss Girl's father is Bucks County Police Chief Karl Knott. None of the family talked to the news, but the neighbors did. According to them, they were not surprised about Kathryn. Now, I'm not going to post her tweets from 2012. I'm going to judge her for her recent foolishness. I feel that the other articles are overly focusing on her, so I hoping we get more of the other guys.
They are 24-year-old Philip Williams and 26-year-old Kevin Harrigan.
I'm sure there's more to come on these two as well.
