It is really challenge for the GLBT youth.Address issues are there at each corner of the world as this issue is different one.Medical and clinical representatives have to take charge the present condition situation.Exchange of ideas and solution are possible way to sort out the given issue.

It is really amazing to me to see people who vote no to equal rights to try and figure out a way to improve conditions for young Gays. I think you send an unclear message to America. Yes we want our children to be proud of themselves we just dont want to have to see it. I say this as the couple in front of me a man and woman are kissing and gropping each other. Why is it ok for hetero public displays of affection and not ok for homo displays of affection? Why is a married couple accused of child abuse better than a couple of men that can raise a child with love and be well adjusted? Because, everything that is being done is not being understood. Hetero's these are your children, not one gay man has ever given birth, why is this so difficult for you? I am ashamed of you for your lack of understanding in this day and age. We are conditioned from birth to accept or hate others why is that? God i have a lot of ?'s but no answers even after all these many thousands of years. We as a nation have to come together completely or this nation will fall not from without but from within.
