[quote=Anonymous]We’re in 7th grade now. DD’s friend group is about 1/2 queer and 1/2 straight. Most of the straight kids are strong allies, but a few simply don’t care. It’s a big group of smart, creative, and funny young people from surprisingly diverse backgrounds. There’s been less “special care” than we thought: Last year DD decided to return to her regular summer camp “out” rather than attend any of the LGTBQ camps I’d researched. Earlier this year, there was an incident at school with a single kid slinging homophobic remarks toward many classmates. I encouraged DD to fill out the bullying form, but she said she just wanted to ignore him. After a week or so of not getting the rise he wanted, he did stop.[/quote]
