Abstract

Most bisexual male youth are having positive experiences related to their sexual orientation. These experiences are typically interpersonal, but they are experienced as positive for a variety of reasons (e.g., they promote growth, they facilitate bonding). Positive experiences may contribute to resilience in the face of prejudice and discrimination.
