Should I wait?

I just started high school two weeks ago, and came from a small private school. I was always in an environment where having sex in high school, or before marriage was looked down on. I was shamed by the people around me for having kissed someone before. I came to my new school which is very different, and no one judges me like that. I know people my age who have had or are having sex. In such an open environment where it isn’t looked down upon, I’m thinking that I might want to have sex. The thing is, I’m gay and don’t really know how gay sex works. I want to do it for the first time with someone I love, but even then am I too young? Please give me your opinions. I would live some advice from people who had been in this situation.
