So i was watching a Queer Tiktok compilation on YouTube and one clip allowed me to rediscover a memory,the creator said "I wish Drag Queens tried to recruit me in school,all i got was the Navy"
It reminded me that i was literally 15 when the Army came to my school to try and put it in people's minds that they should sign up. 15. And yet,no one talks about predatory tactics like this...no,they just focus on misinformation about the LGBTQIA+ Community
Oh and the Army were at every careers day too,what wasn't there was members of the LGBTQIA+ Community "recruiting" people,looking back, i think i would have liked someone who was LGBTQIA+ to just tell us (the closeted individuals...there were quite a few) that we are valid and we are not a problem that needs fixing
