GLS
Welcome to the new GLSsite.net, no longer Brazilian — but still covering gay, lesbian, and transgendered topics in sex education and sexual rights.
Let’s face it: in most places, kids are not sufficiently likely to get decent sex education at all. Parents are usually inhibited, schools are limited by any number of reasons (Federal or state regulations, so-called ‘community standards’, the quality of the staff and resources, et cetera), and peers and the general community are typically more likely to impede rather than encourage healthy sexual development.
When the kids have issues of sexual orientation or gender identification, the limitations of sex ed can be multiplied by about a zillion or so. Even reasonable, helpful, caring people can find themselves completely flustered or otherwise unable to provide the guidance that young gay, lesbian, and transgendered people need most. And it goes without saying that there are plenty of people who are NOT reasonable, helpful, or caring in such circumstances…
On one hand, the Internet has been helpful in some respects, providing a much more accessible platform for information and support (and loan refinancing). However, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you how much misinformation, disinformation, and downright ‘anti-information’ exists on Teh Interwebz. Trying to find a simple answer to a simple question can easily churn up masses of hate speech, porn, and plenty of those individuals and groups who are motivated by something other than serving a need for education and support.
Looking for a comforting present consider a gift baskets.
