You know what I still don't get - who the hell cares? Why are people so invested in other people's sexuality or gender expression? Why should it matter to you if Joey wants to wear a dress & heels? Why shouldn't Suzie climb trees & kick ass? And if Joey & Suzie continue to dress as the other gender or want to marry the same sex, so what? Why not? Who are they hurting?

As for the LGBTQ activists who may or may not be trying to turn gender studies into a science, perhaps they're just trying to establish a right to exist in a society in which many want to see them eradicated. Imagine being LGBTQ & growing up in a religious household where you're taught that you are basically the devil incarnate? What a shitty upbringing that would be. Thank goodness not all religious people hold this opinion, but far too many do.

When LBGTQ people are accepted by their family and community, they thrive. Simple as that. Those who have experience brutal rejections sometimes do not, which is heartbreaking.
