Bullying has been a hot topic lately, as teens and younger children have been bullied to death, often because of their possible sexual orientation.
It is hard enough for adults to deal with the rejection and persecution of being out of the narrow, close-minded view of sexuality and identity. For children it can be so horrible that they literally can't take it any more, especially when people in their own family reject them because of who they are and the person or persons they love.
To any youth reading this, it does get better and it will get even better than adults have it now. The rights to sex, love, and marriage will be had by all. It is just a matter of time.
Suicide is not the answer. Gaining independence and distance from the bullies will bring a world of change.
Meanwhile, we should all stand up against bullying.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
