Gay's and LERB individual why it is so impotent to come out to people who will not appreciate you?

you make some good points, but only if you follow your train of thought. a lgbt person does not come out to their parents expecting something in return, they do it because they love their parents and want them to know. the next thing, sexuality isn't a private thing anymore. it's not the 50's. look around you, how often do you see a straight couple holding hands on the street? kissing? groping? quite alot huh? love isn't meant to be private, it's meant to be shared and enjoyed. we're just following ''your'' example. kids who come out aren't misunderstood. they are understood by their generation and misunderstood by the older generation, ''your'' generation. who didn't, and still don't, try to learn and accept minorities. i came out sophmore year in hs, i was perfectly accepted. you do always get jerks though, but those types are not the most liked demographic in school. the thing is i was fine by 95% of the students there. society even accepts us, like i said, except for the geriatric's.
