Question asked by Leon
Dear Rinpoche, did you know that the Archie comics (starring Betty, Veronica, and Jughead) has added an openly gay character to Riverdale High? His name is Kevin Keller, and he has become so popular that they even gave him his own comic! In general, gay teens have more and more positive role models, parents and friends groups, and supportive campaigns like "It gets better" (which tries to dissuade them from committing suicide). Do you think influences like this would have made a difference to your own experiences growing up?
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.
