It will change though, just as attitudes towards things like homosexuality are becoming much more open generation by generation, so will things like this. Slowly but surely people are going to realise that what other people do in their sex lives has absolutely ****ing nothing to do with anyone else and are going to adopt similar 'live and let live' attitudes, it will happen...not overnight, but I say 20/30 years and we'll be in a lot better situation than we are now, and I was going to make a post earlier actually saying I can't wait until then when the majority of people will adopt these kind of liberal beliefs and the generations that don't will have faded out
The more 'abnormal' issues are discussed and put into the populations conscience, the more things become normalised. That's the way you defeat bullying, by normalising abnormal issues, the less there are the less bullies have to pick on - but I really think that laying the blame at the feet of people who talk about these 'abnormal' issues is vindicating those who bully, taking a 'well we won't do that in case they get bullied' doesn't help any cause at all, because you're just proving that it is something that shouldn't be spoken about because it's not normal
The more homosexuality is brought into the public eye, the more people started to care less, the same will happen with other issues
