Instead of saying "homeless people" & say disabled people, sick people, seniors, women & kids w/o a stable roof over their heads, maybe we see them as human beings & action this crisis? Homeless people as dirty, dishevelled, drunk, drug addicts, mentally ill, living on the streets is a stereotype

Exactly. Gang raping a girl or woman by making her excessively drunk, drugged, or unconscious obviously means she was unable to consent. Therefore, no doubt she was raped. Would you be ok when a bunch of guys do that to your sister, cousin, niece, daughter, mom, aunt, grandma, etc? Rape has no age.

When you picture homeless people, you imagine men in rags, on the streets. Homeless people come in all walks of life e.g. women, kids, babies, seniors, disabled, formerly very rich people, all races, etc. Couch surfing, non-stop temp housing, living in motor vehicles are homelessness.
