Expertise

I can answer questions about coming out to friends, family, others in your life (students at school, other relatives), homophobic people around you, anything to do with one's sexuality, including all the many sexual orientations. I may not be able to give a perfect answer every time, but I'll definitely try my hardest to help.

Experience in the area

I have many friends who are gay or bisexual; I am myself, as well as a closeted family member.

Organizations

N/A

Education/Credentials

I'm still in high school, but I don't think that limits how much I can help someone.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

50% of all gay and lesbian youth report that their parents reject them due to their sexual orientation. At least 75% of crimes against GLBT persons are not reported to anyone.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Gay students hear anti-gay slurs as often as 26 times each day; faculty intervention occurs in only about 3% of those cases.

Hi Betty :) Could you write about it? Sometimes just writing down your feelings could be a huge help. Or if there's a counseling center at your school, maybe you could try talking with one of them about

Hi Kasey :) Yea, you definitely could be. Sounds like an emotional attraction. You don't need to be sure if you want to tell her-you could say you have new feelings and you think you may be bi, and

2009-10-30 How do I know if he likes me?:

Hi Mitchell :) You're right-he could freak out. So making a move would be the thing that would most likely create a situation where a freakout could happen. Maybe saying what you are won't, and it'd
