  • Basic Reforms to Address the Unmet Needs of Lgbt Foster Youth
    II. BASIC REFORMS TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS OF LGBT FOSTER YOUTH What emerges from our state-by-state survey is a picture of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth under-served by foster care systems. These youth remain in the margins, their best interests ignored and their safety in jeopardy. To remedy LGBT invisibility, prevent abuse, and improve care for these adolescents, we propose the following crucial, basic reforms in the areas of non-discrimination policies, training for foster parents and foster care staff,48 and LGBT youth services and programs. A. Non-discrimination policies States should adopt and enforce explicit, systemwide policies prohibiting discrimina- tion. Specifically, these should include prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of: the sexual orientation of foster care youth, the sexual orientation of foster parents and other foster household members, the sexual orientation of foster care staff, the HIV/AIDS status of foster care youth, the HIV/AIDS status of foster parents and other foster household members, and the HIV/AIDS status of foster care staff. These policies should encompass actual or perceived sexual orientation or HIV/ AIDS status. Discrimination prohibitions should also forbid discrimination on the basis of gender identity. Sex discrimination provisions should be interpreted to bar such discrimi- nation, and that scope can be made explicit by enumerating sex, including gender identity, among forbidden bases of discrimination in agency policies. Adopting LGBT non-discrimination policies is an important acknowledgment that LGBT youth are present in the foster care system in significant numbers and that they 22 Youth in the Margins often face prejudice, neglect, and abuse.
