No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yep. Nobody was out in the 90s. None. The one goth kid that wore a tiny bit of eyeliner was a big fucking deal and he was straight (had a big tiddy goth gf).
You're going too far. There were definitely plenty of kids out in the 90s. Not as many as today, but maybe one or two per school, depending on the school.
Being "out" as in everyone knew it publicly, or just some rumors going on and maybe their closest friends actually being in on it?
In my highschool of 600 people in the 2000s i am not aware if a single person that was officially out. Instead for most of the people you'd suspect it, it later became official.
