15. Protest

Locker room heterosexist /gender conformity jackassery still too often dominates puerile humor media.
Most LGBTQ I know would certainly have our lives accepted as naturally and with similar "live and let live" equanimity, however even the mention of our relationships without explicit details garners wildly overblown responses from a vocal minority. It would only be in a far more ideal world we could ideally do without Pride marches, other forms of protest against the dogmatic reproductive prerogative.
Keep in mind there are areas of the world, even radical elements of our own nation who still pontificate the "deserving of nothing but death" trope, and enact such.
Oh, God. Some of you have read my story before, so skip on.
My face to face with that creep Fred Phelps in 1975 (est.) still haunts my nightmares. It was only in his declining months prior to death, he realized some of his kindest caregivers were people he previously would have encouraged his followers to execute. He admitted his grave error far too late. He passed on with the blood and misery of a multitude on his soul.
