..Not always easy to find to whom to speak
To adolescence, in the beginning of age adult, good number of boys and girls, men and women, wonder about the feelings that they feel and that they discover. "That makes a long time that I know that I am attracted by the boys. I believed that that would pass, but more I grow and more I realize that no. I cannot speak of it to anyone. My father reacts very violently to the broadcasts on the topic. My buddies and my girlfriends are all hétéros. They seem tolerates like that but I don't know how they would react.
