from the unbelievable dept.

Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    I remember having a crush on a member of the opposite sex as a kindergartener. We would regularly smile at each-other from across the room. That's pretty serious at age five. :)

    Yes it's surprisingly serious :) I've heard similar from people I know too. Of course it's all individual and likely many who aren't hetero also have similar stories (I've heard a few of those too). I should also add "just in case" that I don't mean to imply that people aren't free to change or choose later on; they are and should be.
