I was just talking with the lady who does the hair dressing here. Her son is Gay and has a longtime mate as she put it.
He came out to her and her husband years ago and they have always been close. As she put it a mother knows way before she hears these things

Any way, she was saying that a lot of this uproar is being caused by only a percent % of gays and most really just want to push back for all the problems they had over the past years.

It is their turn to be heard and stir up things.

There are many like her son who are just glad to be left alone and enjoy what they have in life. They make their own life not the Govt. and they never need a piece of paper to be in love and committed to each other.

Her point was that the people you see out there fighting and protesting don't speak for every gay person or couple. Like in any group there are those who just love the drama and will be unhappy no matter what happens or how much they get. In fact some people get upset with other gay couples because they aren't fighting along with them.

Even the black/white issue took years to make headway and it still isn't complete. Gay rights may have to wait some to get where some people want it to be. And when I told her about Iran and what happens there, she put her hand over her heart and said thank God it is not like that here.
