By the time LD Gipson was 16, he had been abandoned by his mother and bounced around four foster homes between stints on the street as a runaway. No one, he said, could accept him because he was openly gay.
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center on Friday won a $13.3 million federal grant to help homeless gay teens who face similar problems.
The center said the grant was the largest federal award ever to an organization serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
