Bullying is as painful as being bashed.  While bullying would emotionally hurt, no doubt that other had its physical manifestation.  Like discrimination against orientation, sex, race, religion, as well as others not mentioned- make their mark in society, people still need proper education and tolerance before people can finally accept the truth.For Adam, it was terrifying for him to come out to his father.  A lot of times it can be paralyzing.  Both him and Ryan were both hurt from a gay bashing incident which separated them both for three years.  Both probably developed PTSD from it, knowing how they both have nightmares inferring from it.Some victims are not so lucky and end up dying from hate crime related incidents.  Unfortunately, these truths are still out there, we are still at harms way if we are not careful.  It has gotten significantly better as the years unfold, but we still need to improve and be better than just tolerating it!  Acceptance may be a long haul, though not an impossibility.One story line  made me cry, especially the part where Adam finally apologized to Ryan in a song.  God, I Ioved Rent so much and remembered seeing it with the original cast then in NYC.  I am such a sap, but who could blame me- I just blame it on the holidays.
