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.
There
are some health issues that affect gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender
youth somewhat differently than other youth. The most important
thing to remember as you go in search of advice and information is that you
are OK just the way you are.
You have a right to support, safety, education and health care. You
have a right to information. And you will find friendship, love and
satisfaction.
These web pages
are designed to provide particular health concerns of the Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual and Transgender community and provide them with information
and resources.
