Well, here, there are people who care whether a person is gay or straight and "discrimination" is alive and well..........whether any of us like it or not! Same thing goes for tattoo's, body piercings and any thing else that is deemed "not normal" by some in society. Some agree with it and others absolutely don't. Both have the freedom to feel either way.
Yes, I know what it's like in the US. One reason I'm glad I now live where people aren't so judgmental. People can feel anyway they like but when they start harassing people for being gay, having tattoes, that is not acceptable. Funny thing is, the most judgmental seem to be 'religious'.
