I've often remarked that one of the things which I believe has stunted the emotional growth of GLBTQ people, is that we were never able to participate openly during the adolescent growing-up stage of our lives. We weren't able to walk the halls holding hands or showing our affection for another openly. We didn't get to have crushes on someone, openly. We couldn't write the name of someone we cared for all over our notebook covers, or sneak a kiss in the hall. It was as if we were told by the rest of the world, "We're having a party, and you can't come!" It's that period in life where we would have naturally begun to learn to court someone. To exercise our awkward attempts to connect with someone; to flirt. We had to wait until we got to a place where we were comfortable enough with ourselves to come out, missing out on years of learning the how-tos of courtship and dating. It's no wonder, then, that when people finally do come out, it's easier to just hook up, than to navigate the emotional process of forming relationships. So, as you said, Mark, "Here's to the future." I hope, like you, that it's a bright one.
