Read some of the stories, and you can see a pattern of kids facing hostility towards their sexuality, other than their parents they do not seem to have anyone in their lives to turn to for comfort and reassurance. That is why I feel it is important to encourage gay youth organizations so that they can find others their own age to share their pain and anguish of growing up gay in a straight world. And finally I want to address affection as it relates to sex. Sex must include affection. But some people confuse the two.
Affection can exist without sex, in fact perhaps affection is closer to love than sex is.
Yet, some find it hard to carry affection beyond sex. Many men are raised this way because of what society teaches us, this is true among both gays and straights. Women seem to be more affectionate, because society tells us they should be. But is any of this right, we must face the fact that society has no real interest in the happiness of gay men to begin with. They didn't appreciate our needs and desires in the way that we were educated or raised.
