A new study suggests that nearly 1 in 10 sexually active teens have same-sex partners – almost twice as many as previous research found. According to a 2002 study of Massachusetts and Vermont teens, only 5 percent to 6 percent of teens had same-sex partners.
In the new study, 9.3 percent of teens said they did.
"Clearly there's a high rate of same-sex partners among teens, and we need to recognize any vulnerabilities that may be associated with these behaviors," said Dr. Susan Blank, an assistant commissioner at the NYC Health Department. Blank, who was not involved with the study, was referring to a lower rate of condom use and unwanted sex among teens with same-sex partners seen in the study.
The new research, published in the journal Pediatrics, looked at more than 17,000 teens in New York City. It found that teens who had sex with only their own gender or with both genders were more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, putting themselves at greater risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of the 18 million new cases of STDs that occur each year happen among people aged 15 to 24.

That's disgusting.
I find this extremely difficult to believe. Who did this study? Barney Frank?
this perversion is being allowed because we are not teaching our kids responsibility. this is simply a "cool" thing to do because they saw it on tv. wouldnt hurt my feelings any if they hanged them all.
I cannot believe that you would print that last comment. Is it any wonder that we are considered the (bleep)house of the state. Even if you do not agree with homosexuality, I'm not sure that hanging them all is the good "christian" thing to do.
im not christian. so im not bound by your tome. man should not go against nature or he will lose everytime.
9:37- try to hang me. I'm 6'4, 255, former college linebacker. Oh, karate black belt too.
The truth of the matter is that people are born gay. It is another variation on the human condition. However, you show me a homophobic and I'll show you a gay in denial.
Hey at least those girls wont be brining home babies before they graduate.....
HaHa It sounds like 12:57pm has his panties in a bunch!
2:19- No I definitely don't wear panties, but I do have issues with ignorant people. Sounds like you might fit the bill for that group.
of course they do it is very fashionable these days
its marketed to them
Marketing has nothing to do with it. Fashionable? Okay everyone, gay is in this fall, but bisexual is so last season! Come on, ya feel what ya feel.

People are NOT born gay! If you are a creationist then you know that being a queer is against God.
If you are an evolutionist then you know that a queer lifestyle will not produce offspring to propagate the genetic defect.
Fact is that the queer lifestyle is being taught to people by those progressives that want to destroy America. When those same people take over total control, those queers will be rounded up and sent to re-education camps.
