And how well do you think gay kids do in Saudi Arabia and Muslim run countries?

I’m gay. Conservatives have traditionally been and continue to be systematically against gay rights. You don’t get to use gay rights as a weapon to attack Muslims while I’m around.

Muslim countries, like lots of very Christian countries in Africa and much like parts of the Deep South of America have *all* been appalling to gay people. I don’t condemn all Christians for the behavior of extremists, and I won’t condemn Muslims for the same reason.

Meanwhile, “political correctness” has been one of the things that has got gay people marriage equality, protections in law from discrimination, and a large number of visible and open gay people. Thank god for people becoming less ignorant and more liberal.

There’s nothing wrong with liberty but political correctness has gone way beyond that, and there’s a big difference between Christians not supporting gay people or not wanting to bake them a cake and making homosexuality illegal or killing people for it.

No, there are just more intolerant assholes in those countries. 40% of all homeless youth in America are LGBT, thrown out by their families. LGBT people are beaten regularly, discriminated against, almost all had anti-gay language used at them as kids...

... and in my lifetime, a plague that killed LGBT people was ignored, people were regularly arrested for kissing or holding hands in public, People could be fired and often were killed for being gay.
