I can't tell you of any studies either, and I certainly have no information about same-sex cultural norms. I can't tell you that. Again, I can tell you only the experience of our clinic. There I can tell you that many of our clients report more homophobic slurs, behaviour, and criticisms in the adolescent period, and therefore homosexual young people are more likely to seek intimate relationships outside of their school peers or where it is less known.
Now, I can't tell you what that necessarily means about age. I can tell you that Toronto created a specific school because so many LBGT young people were dropping out. While we would all wish that sort of bullying and homophobic conduct would stop, it's hard to root out. That community had a much higher dropout rate; therefore, a special safe school was created for them.
