I personally am not gay but I support them because if discrimination based on gender and race is wrong, discrimination based on sexual orientation is wrong as well. People do what people do & before we judge anyone else, we should look at our wrongs. Nobody's perfect.
i love that so many people have recently rallied around this cause. gay rights is a huge issue... i wish that compassion and support for all human beings could supersede judgment and discrimination. everybody should put more effort into securing equality.
im not gay but im a firm believer in gay rights. its not fair for some1 to b unable to b with som1 they love.its so sad i have gay friends who cant get married to there partner of 6 years.more people should stand up for wat they want.
