LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

[Sally PB]

There's an ad that runs this time of year about a group of friends who get along when they're younger, but their differences drive them apart as they grow up. (The differences are shown a different races in the ad, but they wouldn't have to be.) Eventually, the dicussions become arguments, the arguments get heated, the gatherings stop. The group is no more; it's torn apart by anger, distrust, and hate.

Because each "had to be right."

It's a religious commercial ("Jesus gets us. All of us."), but I find it meaningful without the reference to Christianity.

Oh, my. Yeah, I can see clearing up misunderstandings. And opening Pandora's Box.

I have no suggestions, really; maybe if you do it, do it with a professional counselor. Having a stranger present can help keep people civil, and a professional might be able to defuse a situation if one develops.

I think I might bring it up to mom and see what she thinks about it. She knows dad a lot better, and might know if it's something he would be absolutely against

Bullying is definitely NOT like it was when I was a kid. It is a real problem now.

I don't remember where, but a group of teenagers had some beef with another teenager. It escalated. The one teen DIED because they were kicked, stomped, pummeled to DEATH. The group is now charged with MURDER.

When did so many people lose so much of their humanity? Or is this the "new" humanity?

If so, I want to identify as a dog. Or a tree. I hang my head in shame at times. Yes, I am one of that species.

Aren't we all ashamed, yet?

Society needs to take bullying more seriously. It's not hard to not be mean, and I am so tired of seeing other LGBTQ+ people I know end up in a mental hospital for depression due to not accepting themselves, a fair amount of which is due to people/society not accepting them.
It sucks.

Teenagers now (believe me I know, I'm in a school full of them) are essentially the burnt out 20-year old drug addicts that you can find on the streets. This is some of them, the bad ones. There's a stupid amount of kids you'll find vaping in the bathrooms, and a few of them have already done the deed.

The LGBT+ kids there, of which I am one, are always made fun of (you don't want to hear the nickname some of them call me [it's a joke but some people don't joke about it]) and lots of them are just sad and tired now. So yeah, not fun!

I'm at a alternative school full of neurodivergent kids and LGBTQ+ kids, and we are sooo more responsible than a lot of kids at the nearby regular high schools.
It is soooo much better then my elementary.

@JacinLarkwell you should read the book Unmasking Autism. It was recommended by another person in the program I’m in and though I haven’t read much of it yet, I find it really good. Especially since I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago. This is the book.
