So I’ll post the jumping off point instead:
Isn’t it obvious that being gay is a far less shameful act than being mean?

well said.
now if I could just stop wondering what the world will be like when Elle and Bree are older, and start making choices about their lives. I’m hoping it’s a bit more tolerant, but that might be a long shot. why were we so open as young people? why didn’t we care about this? what is different? maybe the world should listen to more duran duran.
Thank you. Well said, indeed.
I keep wondering why there aren’t rashes of bullies killing themselves because they can’t live with how horrible they are.
