Titanic, Germany, and A Good “Gay” Book
 Meet High Flyer, this week’s Anonymous Teen Reader. I love High Flyer because he is symbolic of so many teens today – a fascinating combination of intellect, insight, and the struggle to express who he really is. Which is not so different from the rest of us, come to think of it.<3

Just a little note to give you (general you as well) hope: I have a cousin who is the first girl ever to wear a tux to Prom and bring her girlfriend in the history of her high school. My husband went to this same high school and it has always been a very tough sort of school, the fact that my cousin was able to do this and have the support of not only her family and friends but the teacher as well means that school as come a long way. Ok, so we’re in the Montreal area and Canada is a little less uptight about these things but I am SO proud of her and so excited that she had the courage and desire to do this.
When they paraded down the street (as is tradition with the graduating class of this school) she was in the “boys” line with her arm linked with her date’s in the “girls” line. It’s a 16 year graduating difference between her and my husband (17 years for me) and I am so thrilled at how schools are way more open and accepting of sexuality these days. Not all schools, mind, but makes me proud to know that here we’re moving on up!
u are so rite they need to start unsterotyping people gay stight or what ever u are
Amen! (for the gay book part….way too many authors resort to stereotypes and cliches when it comes to gay characters)
