Such statements have puzzled other researchers. "Ritch has never really acknowledged the fact that the average kid who is gay is facing enormous problems," says Dr. Gary Remafedi, director of the Youth and AIDS Projects at the University of Minnesota. "Most of his subjects have been Cornell students, who are among the highest-functioning students of all." Savin-Williams, who has included many low-income and non-Cornell kids in his work, responds that Remafedi and other clinicians have a warped view because they based early research on gay teens from crisis centers.

These simple sights were accompanied by relatively simple sounds—competent drumming and lots of tinkering around with xylophones and such—and I wasn’t exactly moved to a transcendent state of ecstasy.

Indeed, the Crimson is also noteworthy among the Ivy League teams for its youth. Harvard routinely fields a starting lineup that includes four freshmen (Wylie, back Nicky Rhodes, midfielder Rachael Lau, and midfielder Allison Keeley) and three sophomores (midfielder Megan Merritt, forward Jamie Greenwald, and back Michelle Hull) among its eleven field players...
