@OwdAlbert I think it works because we develop acceptance of extreme difficulty as we grow older, to the extent that it can no longer put us off festivities. It's like children playing in a graveyard - creepy, yet shows that we don't exclude the dead and at peace with our fate.
Our society has an unhealthy attitude to sexuality. By polarising sexuality, it has twisted it in unnatural ways. If all people were treated as bisexual (which they are), there would be no outing and people would be free to hold hands with whoever they wanted #bisexual#KitConnor
