That's true. In many of the Middle Eastern countries, a same-sex relationship is a crime and I believe the only sentence is death. You can't get anymore homophobic than that. The US is far, far ahead of most places around the world - the government is not going to severely punish you because you're in a same-sex relationship or you're homosexual. Here in Canada, a couple of provinces have legalized g.ay marriage. Elton John even got married right here in Toronto because he couldn't do it anywhere else at the time!
