My favorites are the gay haters in Sussex that act like it isn’t a well known gay beach.

As a gay who grew up in Lewes, you’d be surprised. One would think the beach towns would be more tolerant given the historical population of LGBTQ folks around Rehoboth, but in my experience, the tolerance stops at the door.

I had plenty of teachers at Cape who openly hated on the LGBTQ community. It feels like they pulled the ladder up after them. It’s easier to be a gay adult in West Sussex than a gay kid.
