Correct. That said, why let that be an excuse? We used to not be able to leave the small region we were born in, now we can climb into a tube of metal and hurl ourselves into the sky, around the globe, and back in one day. Humanity isn’t static. We can change.

You’re right. There is “so much peer pressure to go with the flow for fear of retaliation”. That’s how I ended up suicidal as a teenager, because I knew being openly queer was like signing my own social execution order, so I hid so deep in the closet that it ate me alive.
