i don’t know where the most of you live but where im from it's hard to 'normalize queerness' because of strong religious beliefs. people aren’t open to questioning those ideas. BUT that doesn’t mean you must move elsewhere or attack them in the same way. even if you went to Mars, there would still be people to argue with. the first step is to accept the challenges. some people try to talk with their families, sharing the 'burden' of being different and then they support them anyway because in the end wtf do we actually know so let's just be kind. others have to cut ties because too much pressure and lack of communication lead to mental health problems. some have to stay quiet for safety or other reasons. but no matter what, all the struggles are worth it. just like with the Stonewall riots, every debate, protest, and effort to communicate is sacred. No right is secured for ever actually, so lets keep fighting
