Very young gay porn stories
With Pride Month in full swing, it can be a good time for kids, teens and young adults to read books that center on the LGBTQ+ experience and LGBTQ+ authors. Texas students, including Samuels, also continue to fight back against anti-LGBTQ+ book bans through book drives and showing up to school board meetings. Samuels also organized a petition with more than 1,000 signatures to remove the block - in January, the school district removed restrictions for three national LGBTQ+ organizations. Texas teenager Cameron Samuels, featured in NBC OUT’s Pride 30, noticed websites for LGBTQ+ organizations and resources were blocked by their school district, under the category “Alternative Sexual Lifestyle,” and decided to speak out. While books can offer escape, they can also provide a path towards real change. During a year of race-related book bans, some of the most challenged books are those with LGBTQ+ themes (all while some states are limiting LGBTQ instruction in the classroom). This can be especially important for LGBTQ+ kids and young adults, given the more than 300 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

In “Becoming Who I Am,” today’s not-so-nervous teens have a much better book to recommend.Ĭornell University has television, ISDN and dedicated Skype/Google+ Hangout studios available for media interviews. When Savin-Williams was an adolescent in the mid-20th century, a nervous parent’s obligatory “sex talk,” if it was done at all, went something like this: “Sit next to me on the sofa. Savin-Williams also places these stories in context about what we know regarding the developmental milestones of gay youth. “Becoming Who I Am” is primarily verbatim stories from gay teens, talking directly to their peers, with advisory annotations from the author. What’s new is the unvarnished frankness with which gay teens discuss everything – from online hookups and their first wet dreams, to porn addiction and the fear of rejection. That’s not a new theme for Savin-Williams, a clinical psychologist and research scientist, who lately has insisted: “Today’s gay youths are living the life gay adults could only have dreamed about when they were young – they’re proud, popular, respected, happy and ordinary.” Interview-based conversations with 40 young gay men corroborate the view of “Jared,” a 16-year-old from Tennessee: “Yes, there are happy gay teens who lead great lives but there is so much more in this area that can be done and I want to help.” Now Savin-Williams, professor emeritus of developmental psychology in the College of Human Ecology, continues a 40-year career of sexual-identity research with a new book, “ Becoming Who I Am: Young Men on Being Gay,” that teens might recommend to their parents – after reading it themselves, of course.
– Upbeat books like “The New Gay Teenager” (2005) have made Cornell’s Ritch Savin-Williams the go-to advocate for gay teens all over America.
