I have tried to present a diverse representation of issues related to
gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered youth. Not all are directly about
youth,
but they are all relevant to the general subject.
As I continue to add to this list, I may create separate pages with
more
specific categories. As of now, I recommend reading them all to get
a
well-rounded sense of the issues involved as well as the varying points
of
view.
I welcome your comments. Please email me if you have something to
contribute and I will add it to the page.
WARNING: Some of these articles are not gay-friendly. I have included
some
items that present an opposing view to gay rights. I myself am
pro-family, pro-morality, pro-gay rights.
I do not advocate any particular lifestyle except a lifestyle of personal
responsibility.
I am not worthy of judging the lifestyle choices anyone makes.
No one is.
This is not to say that sexual orientation is a lifestyle choice.
IT IS NOT.
All I ask is that people treat one another with dignity and respect.
