I watched the final episode of Stranger Things, yesterday. Without spoiling it for anybody, the ending wasn’t quite as happy as I hoped it would be. I went to social media to see what other others thought of the final episode. I ran across one post, that I posted above above.
To say that it drew my ire, would be an understatement. The person had, as of now, 1200 responses to the post. I would say 99% drew the person through the wringer. In the episode, the character went through a tortured 10 minute segment, revealing that he was gay. His friends and his mom showed their acceptance and their love for him. That was the part of the segment that struck me, not that he came out but the love and support that he got as he came out.
2025 saw parents separated from their children as they were deported. The year saw 70,000 people in Gaza being killed. The year saw Putin trying to destroy Ukraine. The year saw Trump protecting paedophiles in his fighting the release of the Epstein files. The year saw people in Iran, dying, protesting a theocracy. I am certain anyone reading this chirp knows someone who is gay or a lesbian. I’m certain the person who did the post above also knows someone who is gay or lesbian. For anyone to be concerned about a person coming out in a show while seeing all the other garbage that’s happening right now, they need to get their priorities straight.
That’s all I have for today.
