If the residents of Boystown truly want to tout itself has a safe location for the LGBT then resources like the Center on Halsted need to exist and LBGT youth will gather on the streets. Yes, it's unfortunate that crime happens. Yes, there needs to be additional programs in place that keep the kids off the streets but with the lack of funding and the history Illinois has with non-profits, change is not going to happened quickly. And I'm not going to argue that large amounts of young black gays live in Rogers Park, but what programs, events or resources are available to them other than the multitude of sex parties that happen in Rogers park?
