   @clacke This reminds me a recent incident where another kid in my child's 4th grade class (9-10 years old) started asking his classmates which side of the Israel-Palestine conflict they were on. 😬

   The problem wasn't so much that they asked but that they offered only two sides, which is highly reductive view of this conflict.

     One of kid's classmates had a surprising anti-gay opinion, so he's been asking around a bit where people stand. Thankfully, that kid seems to be the outlier.

     Made me remember that time half a life ago when I accidentally "came out" to a friend ... I admitted my interest for a woman with an ambiguous nickname and hilarity ensued.

     My friend's response was so overwhelmingly excited and supportive that I promised that if I ever discovered I was gay, I was sure to go to him first with the news. 🥰
