Being a gay teen is risky business

A new study shows that gay teens are more likely to engage in risky behavior - everything from unsafe sex all the way up to suicide - than their straight counterparts.

However, studies also show that gay teens who have access to support groups and programs like The GLBT Community Center of Colorado's Rainbow Alley are much less likely to suffer these kinds of negative behaviors than youth who do not.
