no I suppose is ok to be gay at 11. I mean has been an ongog bate whether or not beg gay is a choice or if you're born gay, but if you're born gay then that means that you beg gay at 11 is somethg that you have no ntrol ;re still young so you might not feel the same way a few years om now,but,then aga you jt might,who way 's who you are,so jt accept ,is ok for you to be sexual active at 11....probably not. Y. It's ok at 11, at 5, at 18 or at 56. It's always OK. If you're gay, 's OK. Is OK wh other people if you're gay at 11? A huge number (as did the first reply here) will say no. But they're not you, so jt bee they don't like don't mean 's not OK for be easy for you? Probably not. Bee you're still que young, people will thk you don't know what you're thkg, that they n force you to stop, that they n somehow ntrol what you feel and even try to force the gay out of you through doctors and relig methods. There's also the problem that there's not a lot of help groups around to help young gay "not a lot" is not the same as none. Sce you have accs to a puter, you n try and fd a gay youth group but you may have better luck if you ntact (Parents, Fai and Friends of Lbians and Gays) and look for a chapter near you and then email or phone them. The people will help you get support that's appropriate for your suatn. They're large part moms of gay and lbian kids (even if they're olr kids now) and will do their bt to give you a hand sortg thgs out.
