Quote - I personally don't care if someone is gay or lesbian, but am getting sick of hearing about it all the time. Turn the page already, get on with just living.
I'm afraid that until society as a whole, including governments, starts accepting the fact that gay and lesbian people exist and that it's not a deviant behaviour, and people learn to just let people live their lives as they see fit without imposing their own moral beliefs into the equation, we'll continue to see people putting their sexuality "out there" for all the world to see. Once that happens we'll no longer see "gay pride parades" and the need to people to publically declare their sexuality, or media scrutinizing the sexuality of celebrities etc.
However we are decades if not centuries away from that ever happening.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
