At a time when gay culture is gaining much wider
acceptance in American society, when it comes to children,
sensitivities run higher than usual. Despite dismal sales, more
publishers are beginning to market children’s books which contain gay
and lesbian themes. In addition, an onslaught of teen fiction revolving
around such characters has become available to young readers.
Many
people in our community are often guarded or uneasy about revealing
their sexuality to a physician out of fear of potential discrimination. But
the time you have with your doctor is very important. It's the best
time to get your questions answered and your concerns addressed.
Remember that your doctor wants you to have the best results.
