I'm assuming this thread is going to get split soon enough, so I'll continue on with this...

But the thing is, it is a big deal isn't it? I mean, for years society has pretty much cornered gays into little closets, and now the world is finally starting to back off a bit. So shouldn't that be celebrated? Shouldn't gays be allowed to flaunt their sexuality a bit after spending huge chunks of their lives in a closet watching as heterosexuals shoved their sexuality down their throats? Shouldn't we be allowed to enjoy that freedom?
Along the lines of John's reference to Americana pride, America constantly celebrates their freedom because people have died fighting for that freedom. It's the same thing with homosexuality, is it not? People have died in the fight for homosexuality's freedom.
Or have we just been fed lies? Are we really not allowed to express that freedom? Are we allowed out of our closets under the circumstances that we must still act like straight people?
Maybe people are getting ahead of themselves. Maybe the world just isn't as advanced as some people like to think it is/would like it to be.
