Can anyone explain what that is? By the dictionary's defintion it a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Then by all means should a man be allowed to marry another man, or a woman to another woman. Or even for a gay couple be allowed to date without being mocked, scorned, or abused. Why are some people so intolerant? If they don't approve of gay unions, does that give them the right to hurt someone? I mean what's the point. To try to de-gay someone? That's the thing. You can't change someone, so why not just accept it?

I'm personally straight, but I hate how people of the LGBT community are being treated. Even with gay marriage being legalized people are still being mistreated.
