It gets better
When I returned from my trip to the West Coast there had been a spate of young boys committing suicide and it was about being young and gay and having no where to turn. In my Real Boys, I just finished the chapter about being gay and young and having no place to go. The chapter was a lengthy explanation about how gay is not a choice and that was driven home time after time. Anyway, today I was watching a spate of videos about gay men who have come out to tell young boys that it gets better.
Let’s hope the next message we send young gay girls and boys is that it is better – they don’t have to wait.
