Many of the young men I spoke to, however, plaed of the impoverished relatnships gay men formed there. Parental approval n matter as much for young gays as do for young straights and anecdotal evince I heard while terviewg gay men of all ag suggted that for some young gay men marriage would ensure their parents' approval.

It is rehg to know, however, that some young gays have a real tert speakg to and learng om olr gays and their lived experience.
