I guess the reason I am asking is because I live in Southern California, where being gay, isn’t a big deal. I live very close to one of the biggest “gay communities” in the United States, so being around gay people, and transgender people, just seems fairly normal. I have lots of gay friends IRL, and I work with quite a few gay people. It just seems kind of weird, in 2018, that being gay, is still sort of considered a novelty.
