Meet teens who face bullying, prejudice, and violence - because of their sexual orientation. As the national debate over homosexuality continues, these teens can’t always rely on basic human rights and the Constitution to protect them. In this special edition of Teens ON Q, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered teens (GLBT) speak candidly about their lives, both the successes and the struggles. Experts also provide information to help GLBT teens handle bullying and prejudice.
