David Levithan wrote a book about this in one of YA's first positive gay love stories called Boy Meets Boy.
However, if you're going to read just one of his books I recommend Realm of Possibility, which is twenty poetic vignettes on teens crossing barriers to find connection.
When I was in high school we protected a friend who came out and was subject to harassment and beatings as a result. He dropped out. But kids going to the same schools I went to are now openly gay (or bisexual... everyone is bisexual these days), which tells me that we have come a long way in just 15 years.
