Discovering your sexuality - gay or straight - can be a process filled with confusing, often difficult decisions. How do you begin to sort it all out? The Journey Out provides commonsense advice for dealing with issues confronting today's lesbian, gay, or bisexual youth: self-acceptance, telling (or not telling) your family and friends, dating and finding love, dealing with homophobia and harassment, and coping with issues of religion and spirituality. You'll learn the most up-to-date facts on legal and health issues, and information on current gay political and youth movements, plus the resources available to teens around the country. Most importantly, you'll learn that you never have to be alone in your journey. The road to self-discovery is bound to have a few bumps along the way, but the knowledge you gain about yourself can help make the journey an empowering, as well as an exciting one.
