In many ways, GLBT teens have it a lot harder than straight teens when it comes to dating. It can be more challenging to meet potential partners, you might have to hide a relationship from your parents and friends, and going out publicly could expose you to homophobic reactions.
That being said there are also some benefits. A big one is that you don't have to play by old fashioned gender rules that say a guy has to be the one to ask a girl out, pay for everything and then make the first move sexually.
When two guys, or two girls go out, they have a lot more freedom than their straight peers. Relationships can more easily be egalitarian and you can chart new territory when you aren't bogged down by old fashioned expectations of what a date should involve
What?? I'd be like 4SUM!! lmao
