The world can be a tough place for a teenager. We're in one of the most confusing times of our life. TV, movies, and magazines almost exclusively show guys with girls.
Popular music is about falling in love with the opposite sex.
No one ever talks about how it feels when you have a crush on another guy or when you want to grow up a marry a woman just like you. All this focus on heterosexuality can make growing up even harder for those of us who are gay youth, because we cant find much in our world that relates to us. Topeka AIDS Project staff are concerned about the increasing incidence of HIV infection among gay youth and believe that many of the high risk behaviors youth are engaging in can be traced to a sense of isolation and confusion about self-identity. Any gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or questioning youth is invited to participate in STEY .
