I have to agree with Sweetlad on this one. When I was out drinking once a guy who I was chatting to asked me if I was gay. I asked him how many people he asked if they were straight on a daily basis, he said none. I think if you are gay or bi its almost as if your'e carrying around a guilty secret which you have to confess. It would be nice if we lived in a society were we could be honest about our sexuality without cosequences. In the present era I would not reccomend a schoolchild to come out. It is a serious thing to do and has far reaching consequences. Of cousre it depends on the emotional maturity of the child but I think for most it is better left to a time when the individual can accept the consequences.
