thinking about how as an adult I have been able to meet gay children for the first time (there were no out gay children or teenagers in my town when I was growing up that I was aware of) and how i am noticing new types of best friends develop. my favorite is "tween/teenage trans girl and the lesbian/transmasc/nonbinary afab kid who constantly bodyguards her and circles her protectively" i have seen this type of bestfriends many times now and sometimes i tell them and they giggle and go that's us !! and i tell them, we didn't used to be able to be together and now we are. and i am so lucky to be able to see it.
