Health Information for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Youth

 

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender youth and young adults have many of the same health and safety concerns as other youth and young adults.  These include everything from acne to puberty and hormones to making friends you can trust.
