What pains me is that we're not hearing all the other stories like this, the stories that go untold.
Until homosexual relationships are accepted as legitimate, there will be no end to the suffering a society will cause people based on their sexuality.
Fears of "normalizing" or "enabling" homosexuality seems to be an impassable barrier. I have faith, however, the that international LGBT community will persist and a day will come when people will be allowed to love without being hated for it.
And to think this is happening in the "land of the free" and the home of the fucking brave. And in one of the more liberalized states at that.
It's pretty fucking frustrating.
