got here through my network; I hope you don't mind my commenting. you have very much just articulated the discomfort I've felt with the "it gets better" slogan, as well intentioned as it is by people who have certainly gone through similar things in their own lives. sometimes horribly oppressive situations do get better, but you will always have the scars from them. and sometimes they don't get better, because not everyone becomes a world-famous figure who ends up transcending their situation forever.
