    I wonder if this is something unique to millennials. I firmly believe schools shouldn’t have to disclose anything regarding a student’s sexuality or gender identity to the parents, because I remember how intolerant and downright brutal parents were to their LGBT kids when I was in high school. I prefer to let the school and teachers keep things from parents, because I don’t trust conservative parents to not abuse their children.

      Ayup, before millenials the queer kids would just stay in the closet for self preservation but we were right on the border where kids wanted to express themselves but occasionally ate a lot of pain for it. I hope it was just a millennial thing (for sexual orientation at least) because it fucking sucked… and I hope the same thing happening to trans kids is mostly just a Gen Z and Alpha thing because that also fucking sucks.
