Dear Teresa...you have touched upon a few key points

Ain't society interesting...especially during a cultural backlash (still reeling from the LGBT movement)...Societies suffer from culture shock, and more often than not...it's NOT the issue that the 'general main-stream populace is concerned with, but either the change (because change is to be feared...according to whom? The Status Quo). Another fear is having a repressed issue confront their morals, value, ethics, etc. Some folk react 'badly' when you start messin' with their belief systems...or when their beliefs conflict with their inner impulses (BANG!) Society is ever-changing, individuals (main-stream) are not.

Have some compassion for them...they are still chained, while y'all free to be, and do, what you wish...for the most part. Times are also changing at much faster rate, due to the internet...Society clippin' along at triple time, I hope it don't trip
