    That’s the way we shouldn’t care about lgbtq+ in the far future. Not fucking over anyone’s rights, but accepting whoever they love, aknowledging whoever they want to be by default, not giving a flying fuck about that. And picking another bro or sis indiscriminately of these factors, but because we like them, we want to be around them.

    I hope I’d live long enough to see that.

    upd: Until that becomes reality, Pride parades, flags, merch are required. Fights against bigots in court or on the streets are required. Political activism IRL is required. Let’s bring this vision to become our reality.

      “consenting adults” is all that should matter.

      And when it comes to kids, they need a safe space to explore and figure out who they are.

      Why would anyone want to damage or impede any of that?

      Saying this as a small town ignorant ass 46 year old straight dude with 3 supposedly straight kids who doesn’t get this world anymore but is wise enough to realize shit changes.

        That’s a problem because teens get it way before the legal age. Some of them start to fuck with their peers at 12-14. We should educate them about HIVs, protection and sex in general before that, whoever they like, to avoid AIDS pandemics and teen pregnancies.
