Do you feel a responsibility to mentor younger LGBT?

[Massive]

When I came out and started going out on my local scene, I had the older butches and femmes take me under their wings and they taught me how to be. So, I have always felt that I owed it to all of them to pass it on, since then I've adopted several younger butches and femmes who were either rejected by their parents or simply ignored, they all call me Dad and I am beyond proud of every single one of them, over he years I've watched them all become strong, independent people, and seeing them now is the best feeling ever. I don't have the time to help out now, mainly because I love too far away from the nearest scene, so instead I try to help out our younger members here and elsewhere whenever I can, because I feel we have an obligation to help those who are unsure or just plain scared, to show them that there's nothing wrong with them and that they're not alone, ever.
