Hmmm, so if we allow bullying (or really teasing) in grade school, perhaps less kids will grow up gay. It’s probably not a bad trade - some stress during the early years, in exchange for a chance at a happy, normal life.

Despite the MSM narrative, bullying is not directed uniquely at gay kids. Victims of bullies suffer lifelong consequences--low self-esteem, inability to trust others, inability to form relationships, difficulty in establishing a career, etc. Bullying causes victims to commit suicide, in some cases. Bullying isn't tolerated in the adult world; there is no reason whatsoever to turn a blind eye to it because it's occurring among children.

If you believe that, you live in a very sheltered world. Bullying ALWAYS happens. The tactics change, but I know of few working adults who have not run into it at their job.
