I don't even know where to begin.

Do you even know why pride marches started? I am sure you have vaguely heard of Stonewall but if you think that was 'the incident' and then everything was okay you are mistaken.

How about situations such as the Upstairs Lounge Massacre? If you wish to be educated then by all means read this Article.

Otherwise, I'll simply sum it up as 1973 United States. Thirty two members of a gay church died when the place they gathered for after service drinks was firebombed.

This is the reverend of the church's body burnt so badly that he was fused to the window.



All because of the the gender to which they were attracted.

Fifteen years ago we had Matthew Sheppard and people still think it is all about the semantics of equality? Stonewall, Upstairs Lounge, Sheppard and any other high profile situations are just examples of what has gone unnoticed or with a blind eye turned by 'normals'.

So, you pass a law that stops 'propaganda' to youth. Which means if a teenager came to you because he thought he might be gay that you better not say anything positive or reassuring to him. Yeah, great law.
