I write this little piece of my teen past with teenagers in mind. I don't think it is any easier for a teen to come out today, than it was for me when I was a teen back in the 60's. It is still a difficult process for many. But there are more support groups today to help a teen face their family and peers. Try this site for coming out advice and support: www.hrc.org. Go to your local colleges, or sponsored state programs for support of LGBT youth. You do not have to be alone in the process. That is a huge change from the past, thanks to support groups. I wish this were true in all countries.

AuthorWhen I write lesbian/gay themed stories, I write predominately for people who do not understand our lives. Yes, I am a lesbian. If you do have issues with that, go look in the mirror and point a finger at yourself, not at me. But do take the time to read my writings because I write for you, more than anyone else... to help you see we are more alike than different. Archives
