On to the actual topic instead of the minutiae of URLs....

I was very impressed with the article, and with the kids interviewed for it. I'm glad things are getting easier than they were in past years. Not easy, not by far, but easier.

Do I wish people my age (or even your age) had been able to have the sort of experiences some of today's middle schoolers are having? Indeed. Middle school is tough enough for a cisgendered hetero kid, and the extra crap GLBT students have to put up with even today just makes it that much harder. One of the most hopeful signs IMO is the growth of GSAs; allies matter, not because they magically fix things or any such BS, but because they change the tone. (That comment about the GSA bringing all bullying down at one school made me cry.)

(As I said over on [livejournal.com profile] shadesong's LJ, I'm still a bit amused by the reaction "but how can you know that young?"; at 13 I knew exactly who I was attracted to, and recently got back in touch with that person using Facebook. :-)
