    I’d like that to be true, but my daughter (who is queer) told me that kids used the F-word all the time in her middle school. She didn’t care that they knew she was into girls, but other kids kept their mouths shut about it and we had to take her out of that school due to the bullying anyway.

    She also has a trans friend and he does everything from cut himself to smoke weed because he’s so bullied and he’s only 13. If I could, I’d take him out of that school and put him in online school with my daughter.

    This is Indiana, which doesn’t help, but I don’t think it’s at as a progressive a point with kids that it should be.
