What it means to be gay

Introduction
Gay, fag, queer. When many people hear these words, they think of them negatively. They believe that being gay is taboo, a sin, a mistake. Our sex-crazed society is to blame for this. Boys are supposed to have sex with girls and girls are supposed to have sex with boys, at least that's what most people swear by. Boys having sex with boys and girls having sex with girls is considered by many people to be nasty and sinister.

It is estimated that approximately 10% of the American population is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. It is widely believed that sexual orientation is pre-determined at birth and it cannot be changed. God makes some people gay and some people straight. Consider it balance; not of good and evil, but of straight and gay. Gays have always had a hard time being accepted in society. They have faced constant physical and verbal abuse and an alarming suicide rate. In fact, 46% of gay teens attempt suicide.
