higher rate of pregnancy for LGB youth?

My mind actually kinda just makes me go "huh?" Because um...how can they have pregnancy, especially if it says they experience rejection when coming out...if they were likely to have unprotected sex with anyone wouldn't it be another guy? Sorry I'm just confused about this even with the research...

 

Mmmmm makes kinda sense since if you are a closeted female or are in denial of your sexuality or confused,in order to prove you are heterosexual,you might engage in more promiscuous sex with the opposite sex. LOL is that what you are trying to say?

 

just goes to show what a sad household you'd have to be brought up in to prove a point, or what ever that point is.

i dunno, i think its understandable, especially cause alot people who are homosexuals tend to fool themselves into thinking they are atleast bi,

no one wants to be the gay kid.

 

Now we only have to wait for some of the homophobic orginisations out there to twist this into evidence that homosexuality is a choice and increases the change of unwanted pregnancies

 

The only way I can think that I'd get somebody pregnant involves some dirty magazines, a laboratory and several thousand pounds.

Yeah, I get what he's trying to say but I think some of his research/conclusions may be a bit flawed. In England we have one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the world, and this would suggest that the majority of the pregnancies involve one of the parent begin LGB. Doesn't seem like it can be right?

 

Lgb sex-ed? Yes please. I don't see why it isn't done, in all honesty. I mean sure, a minority of us are going to turn out gay, but even less are going to be having sex aged 10 (when we first had sex_ed) and, in my school anyway, a minority are going to use drugs. Plus, considering we are at the questioning age, I am sure the statistic of us who are going to, at one point, engage in homosexual activity, will be
worth considering..
Although it is unrelated to pregnancies, and even sex-ed in general, it would be nice to see kids and teens getting educated about lgbt stuff in general. Education=less ignorance=more acceptance=better world.

Simples

 

anal does not result in pregnancies....so that probably doesn't apply

But i guess it's probable that if one wants to stay closeted, what better way than to have lots of sex with the opposite gender? That way the risk of pregnancy would naturally increase. But other than that, imho this piece seems to propagate the idea that all LGBT people come from dysfunctional families or have absolutely no sense of propreity or right and wrong. This just intensifies the "sadness" of this article.

 

I guess it kind of makes sense...not sure if I could bring myself to lead on a guy that far personally though.

And YES PLEASE to LGB sex-ed. The stuff we do right now is all straight, and since no-one even takes notice of it anyways, it would be nice to do something that might be interesting and useful for a change!
