The phrase "coming out" used to mean something different. Or perhaps the same, judging by the other woman's reaction.

From the article: "The constant hate and fear-mongering of queer people portrayed in the news greatly impact the mental health and well-being of those in the community. The news should dedicate more coverage to the positives of the LGBTQ+ community.

"With how supportive and open the queer community is, it’s genuinely disheartening to see how we get portrayed. Drag shows and school clubs bring people together to uplift one another in a safe place, regardless of how someone identifies.

"However, if queer people are not exposed to these safe spaces and only ever see the lies and hate spread about their community, they may be hesitant to be open about themselves. Negative media coverage can contribute to a diminished sense of hope and confidence a person may have regarding coming out."

Queer media really needs to tone down the "trigger" headlines and focus more the facts so the community is better prepared to protect itself.

An interesting aspect of the gender pay gap.

In the past gay women have had a pay premium over similar heterosexual women; research suggests, perhaps unsurprisingly that a lack of family breaks for gay women has enabled them to engineer more highly paid careers;

But that premium is declining; partly (possibly) due to a slow decrease in discrimination around family/career breaks... but also perhaps because more female gay families are having children?

Massachusetts trolls Texas & Florida by putting up #Pride billboards in their states.

Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2003.

#Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is the first out #lesbian Governor in the country.
