There is diversity in the world and in the community of LGBTQ.

Having said that – when we hide on some level the proverbial “they” won.
The only way to gain acceptance and normalcy is to present ourselves in that manner and with nothing to hide.

If a heterosexual couple walks down the street holding hands are they flaunting?

We don’t have to like Rosie’s opinions but each human has a right to their lives, their passions, their opinions and their loves.

I would guess she would defend your rights to all of that and will I find her abrasive most of the times – I hope she keeps her mouth wide open.

An excellent book is entitled “Covering” by Kenji Yoshino. It should be required reading for all of society.

Self acceptance starts at home.
