It must be so hard though for a young male to come out. I think society is less cruel to women in these things although that can be difficult at times too.

What bravery and confidence young people have who come out. I watched some coming out stories on youtube and I am in awe of their fortitude. I personally don't think it's a fad or "in style" these days. I think young people are just braver than my generation were. Kudos to them.

I hope I have not hijacked his thread. If so I am sorry. Was just going on.
Nicely said and I agree!

Society as a whole may be easier on lesbians. But I feel the reason is that overall, women are more "relationship" based and less threatened by the "sexual" part, and men are somewhat the opposite and very threatened, (for lack of a better word), by the "sexual" part. And men are much more focal about it. Very sad, and at times dangerous, for young gay men.

Take care everyone.....
