Adolescent Homosexuality

Issues for Pediatricians

Gary J. Remafedi

Adolescent Health Program, University of Minnesota Hospitals, Box 721, Mayo Memorial Building, 420 Delaware St. S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455

Homosexuality is among the most complex and controversial issues of adolescent health care. Although homosexual activity is common during adolescence, the prevalence and origins of homosexuality per se are poorly understood. Homosexual identity formation is a potentially tumultous process that begins in childhood and extends through adulthood. The adolescent's experiences may ultimately contribute to a variety of physical and mental health problems. The sociological, psychological, and medical issues are considered, and guidelines for the care of homosexual youths are proposed.
