It is absolutely heart-wrenching that these kids are being dehumanized and made to feel like something is wrong with them because of whom they want to love. This is not just a problem of kids being kids, this is a problem of adults creating an atmosphere that is extremely toxic to young people growing up and trying to find their way. They believe things cannot get better, and the pain they endure day after day does not seem like it will ever let up... and worse... they are made to believe they deserve it.
This is a very important message. It gets better!
