• In what way do you see diversity in your own environment?

Group Discussion: Quotes

'As a side note, don't you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it should be this big awkward thing whether you're straight, gay or bi, or whatever. I'm just saying' (Simon, p. 146)

Everyone should have to come out, whether you're gay, straight, bi or something else.

"So which one of them did it?"
