Information

Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people cannot be stereotyped any more than non-gay people. They establish stable, loving, long lasting relationships, work for a living, shop, watch TV, vote, and pay taxes. Aside from the prejudice and bigotry they sometimes encounter, most live happy and fulfilling lives.

Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people are naturally so. Sexuality is not chosen, like selecting clothes or a line of work. No one knows exactly how sexual orientation is determined. In discussions with thousands of families with gay children, The American Psychological Association, have found that the gay child is most often aware of his/her sexual orientation at a very early age. None of the children was influenced or taught to be gay by another person. Being gay is not just a stage youngsters go through. All attempts to change a child's sexual orientation fail.
