As a 30-year old gay man, I can say that we are living in truly revolutionary times in America as it relates to LGBT equality and dignity. I remember being a suicidal 17 year old boy in 1998 and it was a scary time for me, to say the least. I truly believe we are within 12 years or so of seeing marriage equality legalized federally in the US and that makes me very happy for the LGBTQ youth of the future. In the meantime, I do what I can to help them now. Please support the Trevor Project. <3.

@GranFury440 I would honestly prefer to have two stable parents of any gender then only one parent. And don't talk about love when that's what you are trying to bring down; gay couples marry each other BECAUSE they are in love. And who are you to judge weither or not something is a good idea? And yes, the Tea Party IS bad, but we aren't discussing them. They're a whole nother conversation.

@thecanadianDJ Actually: in WWII the Marines used a code based on the Navajo language, which is so linguistically different from, like, any other language that the Japanese & Germans couldn't break it :) Look up the Navajo Code Talkers, it's actually kind of fascinating! Your comment just made me think of that.

@awesomeDJisme ps. And before you reply to my comment, I am one hundred percent straight.

I am a 26 year old pansexual, which mean the gender identity of my partner might be any gender; male, female, androgynous,or transgendered. I never thought I was different when I had crushes on girls and boys in school. I didn't understand the fear/hate/danger about being LGBTQ, until High School. I'm proof that it gets better. There are bi adults, you don't have to pick sides, you can love whom ever your heart loves. Thanks brothers Green, for accepting me the way God made me.

Also people who say being homosexual is unnatural, give it a good hard look and know that homosexuality is found in almost every kind of animal, homophobia however is only found in one.

So many people are arguing about this! I believe that any person over 18 has to right to give consent to marriage and that if both parties consent to said marriage, it doesn't matter what gender they are. Marrying siblings or parents... is a different story but not one we are talking about right now. Children are capable of being raised by any gender, whether it's 2 males, 2 female, 1 male or 1 female or a male and female as long as they love that child.
