Survival sex is when someone is forced to trade sex for basic needs—like a place to sleep. For far too many LGBTQ+ youth, this is a heartbreaking reality. At QNEST, our goal is to provide safe housing and support so no LGBTQ+ youth has to face this. QNEST.org #EndSurvivalSex #HousingIsSafety #QNEST
