This study has several limitations aswell as
strengths. The adolescents in this study were in
school and do not represent out-of-school youths.
The data we collected were essentially cross sectional and therefore were
not designed to demonstrate
causal relationships between independent
and dependent variables. Further, itwas not
entirely clear what teachers meant when they said
they had appropriate curricula and materials to
meetthe needs of GLB youths and therefore provided
“gay-sensitive” instruction, which raises
questions for clarification in future research
