I had to study a course last year where we had to do a piece of work that used a case study, I chose one about LGBT runaways and the common reason was that their parents had thrown them out - it was from the mid 2000s, it does happen sadly. Mostly either from conflicting religious beliefs or beliefs that homosexuality is immoral, from Thatcher times.
