Mike L: A 5th grader who is LBGT? At that age was more concerned with riding my bike and playing SNES.
One doesn't suddenly become LGBTQI after the 5th grade, and identity can't be likened to a hobby or pastime.

Exactly my thoughts. Between this and the article on the pregnant woman who was demoted for seeking a lighter workload, no wonder women aren't having kids. When society deems every aspect of pregnancy and motherhood a burden, might as well not have them. It's not the government-proposed benefits and tax relief that will boost the birth rate but rather a changed and supportive attitude toward maternity and womanhood.
