The New Gay Teenager

The New Gay Teenager

Ritch C Savin-Williams, 2006 (format: Book)

An introduction to confident, competent, upbeat teenagers with same-sex desires, who worry more about the chemistry test or their curfew than they do about their sexuality. What does “gay” mean to today’s teenager? Teenagers are not especially interested in neatly categorizing their sexual orientation. In fact, teenagers may think a lot about sex, but they don’t think that sexuality is the most important thing about them. And adults, he advises, shouldn’t think so either.
