Yeah, I hate that it somehow became normal and no one even thinks it's something to fight against. "It's been happening through generations, you just need to get through it." Riiight...
As I said somewhere else, when discussing gay couples adopting children one of the most common arguments I'll get is "Those kids have a hard life anyway, imagine how they would be bullied by other kids for having gay parents!" And I don't even know how to respond to that because OF COURSE it's easier to adapt to the bullies than try to educate them and y'know, raise them as decent human beings.
And apparently it's all only worth a mention when someone dies, everything else is eh, less relevant. Like all those traits that make someone a bully will suddenly disappear when he leaves high school.
