She captures my feelings so incredibly well.

Nobody in any of the schools is saying to kids that they should be gay or trans. All they are saying is that some gay and trans people exist, deserve to live, and be treated with respect.

Arguments of people who don't afford basic respect to others do not need to be respected.

Thatcher's (rest in piss) Section 28 was in effect for the entirety of my pre-college education. I used to think I would never come out, and considered being in a relationship with another man an alien concept until I was almost 20. I eventually turned out fine, but I still don't want anyone to go through the things I did, so I'm glad she's standing up for these kids.
