What they are working for is an environment where a gay person can live openly and not have to worry about being attacked, killed, discriminated against.
These adults that you feel are using kids to make themselves feel better were once these scared and confused kids. They are simply trying to make it easier for these kids.
Should they just keep it to themselves? While everyone else dates, goes to dances, holds hands with their boyfriend/girlfriend etc should someone who is gay just keep it in the closet?

you are aware I live in the world too right? You make it sound like you're the only one around gay people, you're not.
ANd there's no proof whatsoever that having kids declare their sexuality is somehow helping gays.
It makes zero sense to have youngsters feel the need to declare their sexuality at a time when they're still learning social skills. Kids get fucked with for any reason under the sun. I got fucked with because my names rhymes with a stupid word and because I was on the swim team instead of the football team.
No, no one is forcing youngsters to do it, but they are coercing them by having d-list celebrities tell them it's OK, because hey, I just did.
It's outrageous.
Be gay, be straight, there's no need to flaunt it, especially during your formative years and especially disguised as some sort of motivational bullshit speech.
As I said earlier, be yourself, don't make a big deal about it.
