Determining the protective factor of gay/straight alliances
On average, girls have their first awareness of queer attraction at age 10 while boys are notified of an attraction to boys by age 9. Boys and girls on average begin to spot themselves as being female homosexual or gay at age 16, although many self-identify much younger.
“Because American population has traditionally viewed homosexuality to be an mature person issue, the concerns and needs of LGBTQ students have often been neglected by the curriculum and in student services planning,” explains Edward Cannon, assistant professor of counseling psychology and psychology and counselor education in the College of Education and Human Development.
LGBTQ youth are often subjected to harassment several times a night and are at higher risk for health issues, high-risk sexual behaviors, substance abuse, truancy and suicide. One effort to better the experience of sexual minority youth is the formation of gay/straight alliances (GSAs), student-led clubs expose to youth of all sexual orientations that help LGBTQ youth and their heterosexual allies.

LGBTQ+ at CU Boulder?
We are in the local area, and my LGBTQ+ kid has said that if we didn’t live so close, that CU Boulder would be one of the uppermost schools on her list. Its only “con” is that it is nearby to home and she wants to expand her world and go to school OOS. Even so, it may end up be the final option, especially if a certain scholarship comes through. She has volunteered with a local LBGTQ+ organization in Boulder for a scant years and it’s been such a fantastic help system. Nobody in Boulder is going to blink about an LGBTQ+ kid. Like @boppersbritton said, celebration flags are painted as crosswalks in the main downtown area. Lots of rainbow flags in store windows. Of course there are haters everywhere, but it’s toned down in Boulder compared to some other areas. Colorado’s governor is a married homosexual man with young children, and he won with 53% of the vote in 2018; he himself is from Boulder.

First Gay Credit Union Given Green Light to Prioritize LGBTQ Customers

Superbia Credit Union will suggest products which are often outside the scope of a more traditional lender, such as loans for transgender people in the process of transitioning, said Myles Meyers, founder of New York-based Superbia Services Inc., which created the credit union.
“I can walk into a bank or credit union and apply for a loan or credit card or savings accounts and frankly, no problem,” said Meyers. “If I walked in to the same institution with my husband, we can come across other responses and welcome. And this is where it all starts to convert for the community.”
Large swaths of corporate America now advertise their back for LGBTQ rights, and hundreds of companies acquire signed on to assist federal and state laws to give equal protection to the community. A majority of Americans tell they support gay marriage.
But it’s still legal to discriminate against LGBTQ consumers in most U.S. states, and research shows that gay c
