Almost certainly not news to any British people, but it was news to me and I think that’s really cool.

I couldn’t even imagine something like that in the U.S.

    I used to listen to Gaydio when I had more time. I Shazam’d the songs I liked and weeks later it would tell me I had great test because I listened to songs before they chart on Billboard in the US. Found out about London Grammar through them.

      We emigrated here (three weeks ago) because my daughter is gay and it’s just safer for her here. And every time I find out about something like this, or Scotland making queer history part of its standard school curriculum, it just makes me feel even better about it.

      People keep telling me I made the wrong choice of countries to go to. I’m sure there are better options out there. This is still so, so, so much better than what she is used to. Her self-confidence about being in a place where people are actually willing to not just accept her for who she is, but treat her as just another person, has gone from zero to I don’t know what. Enough to actually go out and make friends and have a social life.
