Corinne O’Hara of HiTOPS, right, speaks with a member of the agency’s group for gay, lesbian and bisexual teens. ‘I want them to be comfortable with themselves so they can live their lives and not shove it in anybody’s face and not come out and have it be this big event,’ Ms. O’Hara says. ‘It’s not a badge of honor. It’s a part of the fabric of their everyday life.’
