Maybe your school year has five classrooms of 20 students each.

Of those 100 students, maybe one will be transgender. One or two will be nonbinary or genderqueer. Two of the boys will grow up to be gay men. One or two of the girls will grow up to be lesbian women. Four boys and six girls will be bisexual; several other boys and girls will have meaningful same-sex encounters but end up straight anyway.

About one-fifth of those hundred kids will be some kind of LGBTQ+, and many of the rest will be friends of the ones who are.

All of those kids stand to be harmed by anti-LGBTQ+ hate.
