Our Work With Juvenile Gay Men

Through our work, we provide a place where young guys can meet each other and make unused friends in a safe, social environment. Here they can share ideas with their peers and learn more about identity, coming out, sex and sexual health, healthy relationships and more.
Young queer men have drop rates of HIV and sexual health testing than older members of the community. Of course, this makes feeling. Only after people overcome the initial barriers to testing for the first time are they able to commit to a regular testing pattern.

One night in the mids, Scott* tells me, his roommate went to the Fruit Loop — a secluded stretch of roadway in the southwest corner of Schenley Park — hoping to catch some dick. When the roommate returned, Scott, who had never gone cruising himself, despite spending many nights looking out the window of his apartment into the park, longing, or at least curious, asked how it went, expecting a raunchy story.
But the roommate, scowling, recounted a distasteful exchange that had turned him off: Making a slow turn about the Fruit Loop in his car, watching and entity watched by the men at the edge of the woods, the roommate rolled his window down. One of the watchers approached, friendly and direct: “J’need blowed?”
This yinzer was too much for Scott’s fussy roommate, whose desire could not override his bourgeois, judgmental impulses. He’d rolled up the car window and high-tailed it home.

Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Gay Relationships

If you are happy internet dating gay men in their twenties, then this question is not important. It&#;s like asking &#;Why do I prefer blondes over brunettes?&#; My advice is to let yourself enjoy dating whomever interests you (as long as they are over the age of 18).

That same study indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more committed to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some explore that points to a correlation with higher rates of divorce. Research also shows that couples with an age gap of less than ten years are happier than those with an age gap greater than ten years.

Young Americans Approve Of Queer Marriage. But Not So Much Gay Sex
Gay marriage has been legal in parts of America for 13 years. But as the battles for more states to approve the law are still to be fought, it continues to be on the national agenda. So how do Americans feel about same-sex marriage? Well, according to he Public Religion Research Institute’s study into attitudes towards homosexuality, which has just been released, 70 per cent of millenials are in back of gay marriage.
This is great news - of course it is. The report credits popular youth culture for helping homosexuality to be accepted as normal – we’re guessing this means everything from Glee to the #ItGetsBetterProject to Frank Ocean coming out with a story of same-sex attraction. All these cultural and social changes are having a real impact - 65 per cent of of the Americans surveyed said that a family member or a close confidant is gay, up from 22 per cent in We doubt there’s been a successful gay recruitment drive - it’s perhaps more to do with people feeling comfortable enough to be honest about themselves to
