I've noticed that a lot of my blog has been complaints, and most of my complaints have been about the treatment of homeless people. I have to face identifying as homeless, though I would rather not (THE EARTH IS MY HOME, BITCH!), the treatment of the idea of "localized" homelessness is very piss poor. We need homelessness as a protected class. No place ever has enough shelters, or resources for food, jobs, and other things that are necessary to fight homelessness in the short term and long term. However, homeless people are literally and figuratively the most exposed to violence, abuse, and exploitation.
It's not just about homeless youth and elderly. It's not just about LGBTQ. It's not just about any kind of disabled. We're all homeless. We're all a homeless community, in itself. It's the same as any other group. They say that no one will stand up for us, but we have to stand up for ourselves, just like any other group.
