Precisely this. Just like there’s solid research showing the bad effects of social media on kids generally, there’s solid research showing the positive effects of social media in the case of LGBTQI+ youth. This is designed to let oppressively religious families cut off their queer children from “the world” and from the idea that “it gets better.” Kids are gonna die.
