    No different then me asking Sikh's why they have mushrooms on their head when I was younger.

    Under-exposed, not actually threatened, just curious.

    Now I asssociate a turbin with Canada, but when I was a kid in a really white town, I didn't know why someone would use it.

    After exposure to it, and getting a real answer(because I can't cut my hair and it is neater) I got over it.

    Kids just need that, and the homosexuality would'n't be a problem. If you are first learning about homosexuality and being exposed to it, later in life, once your paradigms have been formed, it's a lot harder to accept.

    (First post in a while!)

    Thanks for posting this. It's funny because I really needed to see a video like this to put me on the right track after I've been struggling a little with some trouble over the last 2 days. The Fight or Flight part really struck a chord as I hadn't even realized it was exactly what I was doing.

    This was helpful to watch! I'm still in the closet (but for personal reasons concerning timing) and this message she gave will be helpful in the future when that day comes.

    Thank you, Chloe, for sharing :wink: I appreciate it.

    Congratulations! If it feels like the right time go for it! I am so happy this video was inspiring. She is so right, a closet is no place for a person to live. Be brave :slight_smile:
