The fear some of them live in just pains me. I watched the Rosie special on HBO recently and I cried through it. To see these people struggle not just to be accepted in society, but to be treated equally, just hit hard. They deserve to be mom's, dad's, lovers, partners, husbands and wives like everyone else.
Wow, I got started on this lol. I just saw your post and went, whoa, you think just like me!
