Did you know that roughly twice the amount of teens identify as LGBTQ+ compared to adults over 21? Young people of today seem to embrace identity more and be more inclusive than previous generations.
While your sex-ed sessions at school would have glossed over anything that wasn’t between a man and a woman in a fully heterosexual (preferably married) relationship, today, schools are allowed to educate – and most importantly support – children to cover relationships in all their different iterations. So this, along with the fact that they are the first generation to have grown up without the shackles of Section 28; a piece of government legislation which prohibited local councils, and particularly schools, from ‘promoting homosexuality’, kind of makes sense that they are more open to who they are.
