Some may see this as sanctuary, but be that as it may it will only do more to further segregate and distort the views of LGBT people.
Sure, it's extremely hard to look past being bullied and hated. A lot of kids put up with that shit because they are different in some way, so let's look at the big picture.
Look at it this way: In the US, we've seen more and more states adopt marriage equality in the past 6 years, while the courts meanwhile continue to strike down state laws that outright ban it. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court will be taking up the matter once again this year because of those cases. Meanwhile in the UK, the issue has been settled and marriage equality is a reality.
Will these milestones instantly end hatred and bullying? Of course not. But my point is that views are evolving out there. With time, all of this will further end the worthless debates once and for all and help pave the way to a better future.
We have to be brave, and we have to teach our kids and the younger among our community to stand their ground. Because it IS getting better.
Courage is everything. Let's not step back now.
