5. it is such a complex topic

I am afraid most people will just take a simple route and hate people for being different - yet people are people, so few are deserving of the hatred faced in daily life.

I really don't have to understand the whys and what fors, I just want to. The basic answer is that everyone deserve to have their uniqueness respected as long as their desire does not hurt anyone else. (i.e. no support for NAMBLA members). this goes for people who have illnesses as well as differences. like Asberger's, severe ADHD, people with a variety of physical and mental disabilities. People who like to dress differently, people who like to walk differently (used to have a college prof who liked to skip to class, such a nice guy, that was picked on) people who like to eat differently and so and so on.
