[quote=Anonymous]People *came out* because there was a serious stigma, and AIDS made that even worse. I really long for the day when we can not constantly go on and on about how brave these middle class suburban kids are for dying their hair green just like half of their friends and *daring* to be ace, or aro, or pan, or bi. Our child told us she was gay when she was ten. We were unsurprised, but also remembered being ten ourselves. Had it been less socially stigmatized, I, too would have been gay at ten. I think it's quite common in the human psyche to decide on these things along, as they say, a spectrum. Or perhaps two spectrums. One spectrum is sexuality. The other is time. And, btw, sexuality is a huge part of it. The narrative that detaches that aspect is potentially quite regressive and damaging. [/quote]
