Straight, gay, bi? Who gives a crap. The fact that homophobia still exists in this day and age is one of the most depressing things about the human race.

You can view things that way if you want to, but the way I see things the progress made in this area is simply astonishing. I'm not claiming that the world is perfect but remembered the world in the 1960's compared to the world of today, where same-sex marriage is legal and increasingly common in just astounding and wonderful.
