Glenn is a 14-year-old boy who has quietly struggled with same-sex attractions since childhood. He now recognizes that he is gay and is ready to disclose that information to his friends and family. His parents divorced several years ago, and Glenn and his siblings live with their mother. With whom is Glenn most likely to approach first?
What will be an ideal response?
The first person that Glen will likely tell of his same-sex attraction is a friend. Parents are seldom the first people that adolescents tell about their same-sex attraction, but mothers are more likely than fathers to be told about their children's sexual identity. Glen will probably tell his mother first, because he may have a more distant relationship with his father. He may tell his siblings, but it would be unlikely that he would share this information with them first.
