Reply #17: This country is still in the middle of the transition of accepting homosexuality.

Thats what it really comes down to. And honestly, we have came a long way just in the past decade, in my opinion. The attitude towards gay people in the media, in movies, in music and even with the average joe walking down the street, has improved considerably compared to what it was when I was a teenager. But we still have a ways to go. Its been that way with every civil rights movement in this country. Every group of people that had to deal with being discriminated against by the laws of the land due to our society acceptance of it, have had to deal with the generational resistance to their ascendance to equal rights. But with enough time, we get past this shit. We just have to have enough of us exposed to it. Thats the way it was with women getting the same rights as men as thats the way it has gone with African Americans and other minorities being allowed the chance to elevate themselves to the same heights that this country once reserved for white people.
