People born between 19 are classified as Generation Z. The study polled nearly 1,200 teenage boys attracted to those of the same gender from January 2019 to January 2020 as part of an HIV prevention survey.
In the 1990s, for example, 40 percent of boys were out to mothers and less than 30 percent were out to fathers, the study noted. This is a marked uptick from older generations. A record-breaking number of gay and bisexual teenage boys are out to their parents.Ī new study, published in the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity journal, shows that 66 percent of those in this demographic (ages 13 to 18) are out to their mothers, while 49 percent are out to their fathers.
