    Abstract

    Gay and lesbian adolescents, whether self-declared or in the throes of sexual identity struggles, are and have been in out-of-home care settings. Their placements are often negative experiences because their feelings of difference are frequently aggravated by the attitudes of those around them, including other children and some staff members. This article discusses factors that can help make placement a positive experience for these youths.
