- Summary
- "Mary Robertson offers groundbreaking research on the first generation of young people to embrace their queer identities as children and adolescents. Drawing upon the voices and stories of young people themselves, she shows how today's LGBTQ-identified youth navigate queerness within a culture where being gay is the 'new normal,' challenging and expanding the boundaries of twenty-first-century adolescence. Her research reveals many differences for today's queer youth: it is the standard and not the exception for them to be out to their parents and friends; for many it was their gender nonconformity as children rather than a sense of sexual desire that first led them to consider a queer identity; many learn about sexual practices through pornography on the internet and through fan fiction written by other youth; and many have at least one parent or relative who is gay-identified. [This book] paints a picture of a world where queer kids feel they have more options than previous generations when it comes to their gender presentation and sexuality, providing new insight into today's LGBTQ youth."--Back cover of paperback.
