Note: Someone (the strawberry diamond) left a note saying:
"sorry to say this... but although this is well written and fun to read, the characters are far too naive for their age. Most kids I know have known about homosexuality since at least 4th grade, and a lot about it too. And we've been learning about AIDS every year in school since 5th grade. So although this story is far from bad, its pretty unrealistic."
And I just wanted to say that I had it so the characters grew up in very religious households, hence all the bible references. And also I usually use the OBC, and say that the musical takes place in '96, and so considering that, they'd be in 5th grade 20 years ago!! So that would mean they wouldn't be learning about it in school, and since they both left school early, the only chance they would have heard about it was in middle school. And I don't know, but I'm thinking they might have gone to religious schools up until high school. My mom went to Catholic school until 9th grade, and she talked about how the transition was pretty rough, etc.
And in the beginning when they first are talking about homosexuality, they're in about 2nd grade.
And since Angel's pretty damn effeminate, I was saying his parents sheltered him even more. So thank you for the review, I was happy to get it, but in my mind it worked and I wanted to explain.
