You're going on about separation which largely does not exist. Sure there are gay venues etc but that's to do with providing safe spaces where there's no judgement if you want to kiss somebody or hold their hand.
For somebody supposedly interested in fighting for our rights you seem to have very little understanding of basic stuff, Parm.
And btw, coming out and living openly as a gay person has a huge positive impact. Gay people are not unhappy as you seem to be saying. |
You brought unhappiness into the discussion so no winder you use the hang your head smiley
Surely its more shame in the family home rather than society itself that makes the majority of people afraid to come out, come out.
