issues that the LGBTQ communities face in the context of education. It further aims to foster

Oakley, S., & Bletsas, A. (2018). The experiences of being a young LGBTIQ and homeless in
This article focuses on how the young people belonging to the LGBTIQ community have
dealt with homelessness in metropolitan cities of Australia. In doing so, this article explains a
majority of the issues and hurdles that have been confronted by them. The authors have
developed an argument that the convention perspectives in practices and policies which treat
homelessness as a homogeneous category serve detrimental effects to the young cohort. In the
modern world, more and more young people are identifying themselves as members of the
LGBTQ community. Given these circumstances, it is obvious that the need for them to seek
support, services, as well as, housing assistance has increased. The authors talk about how this
has resulted in the shortage of safe and suitable accommodation to endorse the populous. They
argue that this can further increase the exclusion and marginalisation of the populous from the
mainstream culture.
