Absolutely unreal. They\u2019re people. People are people are people. It literally has no impact on your life. Love who you love. Be who you are. This stuff makes me so mad. How can you be unbelievably selfish?

Laugh at them? She couldn't have the other kids laugh at them? NO ONE should laugh at and bully other people. Especially not children, they don't realize the trauma they can cause to a young child.
