Often it's those, and they're heartbreaking. Sometimes it's "just" het-cis relationships the parents don't like. Sometimes it's "Drinking While Evangelical" or other garden variety youthful rebellion. Sometimes it's depression. Sometimes it's just literally wicked stepparents. The overriding connection is always that they don't need to be there and even if they have issues (and to be clear being LGBTQ+ is not a behavioral problem), the so-called solution will be much worse than the problem.

Folks, read that link there to elan.school. It's heart wrenching.
No thanks ive already watched a documentary on it and dont feel like bouncing between impotent bezerk furry and helplessness.
At your recommendation (with your post being 9 hours old - the thing is really long) I read the whole thing start to finish, and just finished. It’s been a hard (emotionally) read and I’ve had a headache since I started it, but it was worth it, and I’m glad the dude is doing at least passably well in life, all things considered.
And at the end when he mentions he was sent in 98 at just past 16.. I was sent to a military boarding school at almost 14 in 00, essentially for having adhd, mild autism, and a single parent who swung between negligence and authoritarianism, and I’m just really lucky my mom found one of the less bad places. A legitimate school that was only a bit abusive (but really not a super appropriate environment for most children either way). Because I could have met that person in hell if things had played out a bit differently. And that’s a really sobering thought. I’m glad I didn’t have it until the end.
First, here's a small story: I had to read Elie Wiesel's Night in high school. I got a lot out of reading it over two weeks or so in AP English. I gave my copy to Mom, who's a big reader, and warned her to take her time as it's painful to read. The next morning she tells me "I read the whole thing last night, then I couldn't sleep, and now I can't stop crying." Mom, I warned you 😓
Even with my very sheltered life, or perhaps because of it, I have found I need to space these kinds of stories out so that I don't get overwhelmed. I think elan.school it took me 3 weeks to get caught up and then he finished the series over just a few weeks.
I'm sorry you went through so much as a kid, yourself. You and Joe are both around the same age as me, too. I hope reading elan.school helps you in some way with your own journey. I'm glad you found it worth the investment of your time.
elan.school is a fucking trip.
I read up to when he finally got released back when that was current, and havent caught up since
