Welcome to the Kurfew Junior page. We recognize that many gay people actually begin to realize their sexual orientation at a very early age. This page is provided for and maintained by the members of the younger gay community, who can't yet go out to clubs, but would like to participate in a community of their own. We have two special contributors to the Kurfew Junior page. Dave, a cheerful, multi-talented, openly gay 14 year old, and Brent, a bisexual 18 year old. These boys are really heroes, for coming out at a time when there's still a lot of oppression and homophobia in the schools. And what's most remarkable is their incredibly positive and healthy outlook on life. They demonstrate that simple honesty and self-acceptance can be the keys to a happier life for young gay people. And in the process, they're probably even saving lives! Dave's column is called "Just a Boy in the World." He begins with his coming out story. There's also a newer story about the reaction Dave has encounterd from schoolmates after being included on this web site! In future columns, he'll be answering questions from other gay youths ages 14 to 18 on the site, and will be seeking out events and activities suitable for young gays.
