Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual

Indeed, dozens of studies in the past several years have strengthened that conviction.

how young does a teenager KNOW they are gay
It varies. I didn't know until I was almost 18. I've known guys who figured it out in their early teens.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Prejudice had damaged gay adolescents' psychological well-being. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
