Gay/Lesbian/Bi Teens/Expert Profile
Expertise
I CAN answer (and any that are similar): why do my parents hate me? Why can't my parents accept me? Is it wrong being gay? Will my parents ever accept me? Why do I feel so alone and alienated? Is being gay a sin? How can/do I come out? When do I come out? I CAN NOT answer: why am I gay?
Experience in the area
I am gay and have come out. I have been depressed and suicidal in the past, but I am much better now. I have helped friends who are gay.
Organizations
Outdoor Odyssey (a mentoring program for special needs children), SLC (Students for Life Choices)
Education/Credentials
In high school, so I can relate to most teens.

Ugh, been there, done that! And it sucks. Haha, well, Kyle, it seems to me that if you've asked him multiple times and he continues to say no, then there's not much more advice I can give you. Maybe he
