You cannot make this shit up. Imagine kids wishing that they were growing up under “normal” circumstances.


Under Lockdown, Parents Are Discovering Their Children Are LGBT And Dumping Them On The Street

LGBT parents are suffering homophobic and transphobic abuse from their own children during the lockdown, a charity has revealed — while young LGBT people are being thrown out onto the street by parents who discover their child’s sexuality or gender identity.

While homelessness caused by anti-LGBT rejection is not new, the context within this pandemic is, and so too is abuse from children directed at their own LGBT parents.

Teenagers who have never said such things before are now “lashing out” with hateful and abusive comments, Rachel Ellis from the LGBT Foundation told BuzzFeed News. “They’re trapped in the house, cooped up, and haven’t got anyone to let their frustrations out on except their parents,” she said.

Some parents, who have already experienced significant prejudice outside the home, are now blaming themselves for what is happening within it — unable to comprehend why. Despite years of casework, Ellis had never encountered this phenomenon before the lockdown. But, she said, “it’s something I’m seeing more and more in the past month”.

And that is just the start.

When there is a deviation from cultural norms instilled in people for centuries there always were deviants from the largely acceptable norms - but they wee no important at the time.   The last forty years the LBGT movement formalized itself and became an aggressive force politically in the USA.   

The new norms suddenly caused problems of its own.    They know they are surrogates where they do not know the identity of their real mothers.  They start to get peer pressure in schools and  realize they are not in normal households.   Not surprised at all about this one.

Young kids of today have such a sense of entitlement, it is crazy “

That is no bullshit. Then again, if think about it, it is not really all their fault. It is modern society that has allowed them to become entitled spoilt brats. They have just discovered how to exploit it to the limits.
