The future is unwritten

Certainly it's not a bad thing, it's a great thing for the queer kids in High School, and maybe even college, to see that the future is not all doom and gloom just because of their sexual orientation.
I'm just cautioning against telling every kid that feels like an outsider in High School, that graduation day automatically leads to sunshine and roses. Not that I think this project does that for the queer kids either. I laugh when people tell me to go on facebook so I can connect with High School classmates. ![]()

I resisted FB forever, but finally succumbed and used it to find an old, old friend who disappeared off the face of the planet after high school (STALKER ALERT!) -I'd failed to find him any other way. He's not out, but I think he's gay, as does my best female friend from high school (we were a trio). She visited me a few years back and were were concerned that he might have commited suicide. I was so happy to find him alive and well and it seems to me that the old high school release worked for him regarding happiness, if not entirelt freedom to be who he is. And i could be wrong about that.
