will never forget when my father (who studied classical history and poetry at uni before going to law school) used Alexander the Great to try to explain what being gay was to me when I was like 8

@vriska >Explaining gayness to 8 year olds
What the hell

@vriska @nerthos my uncle is gay and I can’t remember a time before I knew what gay was

@destroy @vriska With the % of people that are gay, it's statistically unlikely that you'll know someone who's gay as a kid unless there's a deliberate push to publicize gayness.

@vriska @nerthos kids don’t know more than five to ten adults?

@destroy @vriska I know like 3 gay people IRL and I work a social job. There aren't that many outside of specific places/circles.

@vriska @nerthos yeah but you probably live somewhere it’s illegal to be gay
