My father is gay. He didn't come out until my brother and i were in our teenage years. I'm just fine. If anything my father's gayness only served to make me a stronger person. I developed a keen understanding of just how much fear and misunderstanding play a role in how people treat eachother. It is easy to be homophobic until you actually see that homosexuals are people too. I voted yes, because to vote any other way would be a proclamation of ignorance, an endorsement of or pandering to that ignorance.
