- LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) youths often face daily social stigma, discrimination, and often rejection by their families, in many cases this can lead to them being kicked out on their homes and forced to live on the streets. Some turn to survival sex just to be able to get by, but they still face charges of prostitution. Tiffany Graham, dean of the University of South Dakota law school, calls for a change in policy toward youth homelessness and survival sex.
Tiffany C. Graham joined the University of South Dakota of Law in 2014 as the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. A graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law and Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, she was previously the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and a Professor of Law at the University of La Verne College of Law, and an Assistant Professor of Law at Villanova University School of Law. Dean Graham has taught in the areas of Constitutional Law, Race and the Law, Criminal Procedure, Law and Sexuality, and Torts. Prior to entering the academy, she clerked for the Honorable Richard W. Roberts of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and spent several years working as a commercial litigator for a major Los Angeles law firm. Dean Graham's scholarly works have focused on marriage equality and its relationship to developments in equal protection and fundamental rights jurisprudence, and her work has appeared in various publications.

The woman knows what she is talking about. This is a video that everyone should see so that they are aware of these problems.
This woman right here! Brilliant sister. 🙆🏽🙅🏽💁🏽
this was very insightful to me. when I look back in my youth as a transwoman homeless youth I realized I have been engaged in survival sex since I was 13 years old. but I had no idea, I just thought I was surviving. I continue to need to do sex work now to survive at the age of 28. I am so tired of it.
Good luck
Sending you so much love and hope for change, you got this!
Mercy is something we need to look at with these youth,they are in a hard place and trying to survive.I know a young lady around 17 who bounces between family members because no one accepts her. She went from missing classes to doing really well in school.
That's so great she ended up in a good situation, eventually, it seems like? Thank you for sharing!
I will NEVER resort to selling my self out for shelter. Id rather starve 😢
Great talk Prof. Graham!! I like very much your thinking about how to redress exploitation and duress among young *emerging adults*. The term "emerging adults" is a great one to consider for those persons between 18-25. Congratulations!
