God this is depressing. What kind of world do we live in and when will we start creating a better one?

I always knew but I was outed by my former best friend. We were sitting at a lunch table in high school and she suddenly yelled “You just checked out that girl! Just come out as bi already; we all know it.”
I was deeply ashamed when she did that and it took me awhile to be comfortable with it. I distanced myself her after that. She also had drug issues so it wasn’t going to work out for multiple reasons.
I grew up in a house with parents who always taught us equal rights for all. My mom avoided churches where women were banned from leadership positions and served as a leader in different capacities at different points in my life. One of my brothers ended up baptist for some reason and I can’t figure it out. He’s racist, homophobic, and a misogynist. Complete opposite of how we were raised. It’s so sad.
I feel like everyone needs to get together and protest by going dark. It’s not just about people using a third party because it makes them happy. There are real issues with how Reddit is handling itself and their lack of accessibility features is deplorable. I know they said they’re going to offer exemptions to apps that do accessibility but I have no hope they mean it.
For a long time I didn’t feel like I was really part of the community. I’m bisexual and have had relationships with other women in the past but I’m married to a man now. I’ve found people in the community who say I’m not really a part of it so I’ve been really hesitant until recently to even try to participate.
I think the issue is that we should just be feeding the kids point blank regardless of their income level. When I was in school, I was denied lunch on a couple of occasions because I forgot my lunch money and wasn’t on free lunch. That certainly doesn’t help anyone learn.
