If they aren’t questioning their own sexuality, they have friends who are. They’re living in a society where Will Smith’s son, Jaden, is [modeling Louis Vuitton’s womenswear](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/07/fashion/jaden-smith-for-louis-vuitton-the-new-man-in-a-skirt.html) and where there are [so many letters in the current LGBTQ+](https://decahedronofq.wordpress.com/what-is-lgbtqqiaap/) initialism (LGBTTQQIAAP) that it’s simpler to use a plus sign than to list all of them. It’s no longer as big of a deal to explore what it means to be gay or bisexual.

You don’t have to label yourself because it’s not set in stone. It’s so fluid.” — Lily-Rose Depp, Johnny Depp’s daughter, ![exp-icon](https://info.axis.org/hubfs/exp-icon.png) ### Unlock Meaningful Conversation Experience every resource Axis has to offer so you can keep up with teen culture, understand the newest topics, grow in confidence, and build connections with the next generation.
