Turning the Albert Kennedy Trust from LGBT to LG

Looks like the Albert Kennedy Trust, an organisation which supports homeless young LGBT people has now been truned into an organisation for homeless young LG people, following JB's article in the Guardian on 17 December;

From reading this it would appear that AKT only helps LG kids and only has a shortage of lesbian foster-carers. I bet they have a real shortage of T foster carers in reality, but JB doesn't think we exist.

BTW she also defines the T as transsexual. I find this an insult. T is not just for transsexual, it means transgendered.

interesting, that wouldn't be anything to do with the fact that the AKT has been somewhat absorbed into the shady "Lesbian and Gay Foundation" perhaps?
