The Post today begins a four-part series on gay youth and will look at the lives of two gay teenagers from very different backgrounds. Today’s article introduces us to 17-year-old Michael Shackelford of Oklahoma (“In the Bible Belt, Acceptance Is Hard-Won“). Staff writer Anne Hull will host an online discussion about her series tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET. (Link via Gene.)
[Addendum: Part II (“A Slow Journey from Isolation“), 27 Sept. The final two parts of this series are scheduled to run Sun., Oct. 3, and Mon., Oct. 4.]

Interesting article… can’t wait to read the rest…
Really well done article. Makes me happy I wasn’t raised in the bible belt. It should be an interesting series.
