One of the most common places to meet people is at school. But how do you find other gay teens at school when often no one else is openly gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender?
Another option is to get involved or start a Gay / Straight Alliance in your school.
Gay / Straight Alliances haven't always been around. In fact, GSAs really only began to emerge in the 1990s as a way for GLBT teens and their allies to connect, find support and provide education.
But keep in mind, if you aren't ready to look for other GLBT teens in your high school, there's always college. In fact, a lot of GLBT students specifically look for gay-friendly colleges. To get started, check out the organization, Campus Pride which ranks colleges based on how GLBT-friendly they are. And what makes a college friendly? Atmosphere, as well as GSAs, GLBT student groups, even queer studies departments.
