Resumen
Throughout history, the gay population has suffered discrimination and harassment. Teen homosexuals constructed their sexual identities without a legislative umbrella that could offer them protection, understanding, and acceptance. However, in the United Kingdom, from the 1960s, and especially with the turn of the new millennium, legislation started to build a long road toward gay equality. This paper is aimed to establish a comparison between the situation of teen homosexuals in the decades of the 1990s and the 2010s, describing all the changes in the sociopolitical contexts of both periods. The project also includes a description of how gay identity is built and what factors affect how homosexuals disclose their sexual identities. Finally, we analyze some aspects of the literary works Beautiful Thing and Heartstopper, as representatives of the two decades under study.
