CHICAGO (AP) — It really does get better for gay and bisexual teens when it comes to being bullied, although young gay men have it worse than their lesbian peers, according to the first long-term scientific evidence on how the problem changes over time.
The seven-year study involved more than 4,000 teens in England who were questioned yearly through 2010, until they were 19 and 20 years old.
Not 'so gay'.....Casual homophobia helps to create an environment in which aggressive homophobia, hate crime, bullying & suicide can flourish.
Be aware....The word 'gay' and other words (in a derogatory sense are used commonly now without... anyone even noticing or being shocked about it - that is the real shocker. People will say that not everyone means it in a bad way, but that's not the point. It is still a derogatory word for gay people and its widespread use on in social media any elsewhere is reflective of the issues gay people face daily.
