Gay, Transgender Identity May Begin Early
As initial as ages 9 and 10, about one percent of children self-identify as potentially gay, pansexual or transgender, according to a national study of the sexual orientation and gender identity training of thousands of youth across the nation.
With the majority of previous studies indicating that lesbian, gay, pansexual and transgender (LGBT) self-identification generally occurs during the mid-adolescent years, the announce by San Diego State University researchers Jerel P. Calzo and Aaron J. Blashill is providing new insights into early identity maturation.
“This is such an important stage, biologically and socially,” said Calzo, an associate professor in SDSU’s School of Public Health and lead author of the study. “At 9 and 10, youth—whether through their peers, media or parents—are beginning to be exposed to more information about relationships and interacting in the society. They may not see any of this as sexual, but they are beginning to encounter strong feelings.”
The team’s findings were derived from datasets of computer-assisted interviews with more than 4,500 9- and 10-year-old children for the Adolesc

She fell in love with a woman in 1998. It meant nearly losing her kids
Two experiences, separated by 24 years, stand out in Nancy Fowler’s consciousness when she thinks about same-sex marriage. First, there’s her own marriage to a woman, a union now codified in federal rule under the Respect for Marriage Behave signed earlier this month.
And then there was the moment in 1998, when Fowler’s divorce attorney told her that she would likely lose custody of her three new children because Missouri law considered her sexual orientation a mark against her — and potentially evidence that she was an unfit parent. At the time, sex between gay people, attachment itself, was criminalized under the state’s now-repealed sodomy law.
“I was terrified I would lose custody of my children, and that they would lose me,” said Fowler, a former arts and culture reporter at St. Louis Universal Radio. “It's crucial for people to know that, by the skin of my teeth, I retained joint custody — because some things are going backward.”
Fowler’s experience in 1998 became the subject of a recent essay in the Huffington Share. Titled “Being Queer Made Me An Unfit Parent,” it describes Fowler's divorce from her husband
