As an oldster let me say...KIDS THESE DAYS ... (lol) are so much better off, so much kinder to each other, so open, so don't give a fuck about gender, ... never I'm the world would I have imagined this possible. (out gay man here, loudmouth anarchist weirdo).

The bigot monsters are outnumbered, they thrive only by oppressing others, their major power, division, enforced ignorance and lies and deceit, undone by people ACTUALLY TALKING about shit like being unhappy and depressed and having at least some people be kind to you.

If you had done that in my time you'd have been whisked away out of sight.

"The closet" is a concept broader and wider than just sexuality. Silence keeps people fearful divided and silent.

A year ago I was at a playground and some tweens were playing on the equipment and one boy said "I think I like boys" and everyone was like "yeah that's cool".

No one cared.
