PWL i agree that it can be a blessing. adolescents may be in a delicate situation though, families have disowned children over this... which is silly as well as potentially serious... so the OP may want to stay in the closet (at least with family) and come out in college. that is a pretty popular route to take.
you know, i live in the bible belt so you'd think i'd be surrounded by homophobia. and maybe i technically am, but in terms of the people i know personally, those i consider friends and not acquaintances, i can't think of anyone who has issues with GLBTQ.
