lgbt [View all]

yesterday I was driving and turned a corner and saw two young guys holding hands,walking their dog. As soon as the noticed me, they moved apart. As as I got closer I saw real fear in their young eyes. They softened a little as they saw no threat from me. I was so angry that people have to live in fear because of the lifestyle they chose. I am saddened also that our judeo-christian ethic has created such fear and hate. I'll state the obvious, a right wing november victory will make it worse for all not of their camp.
