We need more people like this in the world.It's sad that anyone has to fight for their rights.And even worse that they have their life picked apart.

It's really sad. Two of my guy friends are gay and they only recently told me (I used to be a Christian and they knew how I felt about it). Neither are completely "out" but one of them was raised in a Christian family, and they know now. He was almost thrown out.

Great video.

When I discuss my opinion of homosexuality with people, I usually end up talking about beets.

"I don't particularly care for beets, you see. The taste is off and I don't like the texture. Likewise, I'm not really interested in a sexual relationship with a man. But do you see me in the street picketing against beets? Do you see me disrupt the funeral of someone who ate beets? No. Why? Because I'm not an idiot. I understand that a personal choice that doesn't effect me in any way shape or form isn't something I need to get up in arms about. If someone wants to eat a beet or have a loving relationship with a member of their own gender, I'm happy for them because they've found something that makes them happy.

If you don't like the idea of homosexuality, stop thinking about it all the time you big queen!"
