    I think schools having actual counselors and GSA clubs is probably the best option, to be honest, including class lessons in LGBTQ history. Having counselors would have helped me come out a lot faster in that regard. Kids will always find their way onto the net as they become young teens, and I’m fine with sites for kids, like club Penuin, educational sites, digiral penpals, etc etc. But the internet will always be unsafe on that front, especially since Americans have a taste for extreme violence.

    What I don’t want is religious extremists carving up the internet under the pretense of making it “safe for kids” which is a dogwhistle for removing all LGBTQ content, LGBTQ + abortion resources, porn, adult sites, and instead promoting religious sites and crap like Prager U and its monstrous cousin, Prager U Kids. That’s really what this is all about under the hood anyways.
