I dream for the day when treating gays like second class citizens, and inferior, is about as socially acceptable as racism. I dream that it happens while I am still alive to rejoice in that - a dream given the pace of events that actually seems realistic now.

That will be nice.  Though we're still not talking about the elephant in the room.

We're starting to get there already. Bigoted statements make headlines. The dumbest of the dumb get ridiculed, even in the mainstream media. You even have a dude like Kluwe in the NFL calling people out for being dicks.

Whatever mental barriers you have to break through to get there are gonna take time no matter what.

But it might not hurt to just dive in head first and support it.

You may get some pushback, but just know that its the right thing and the number of people against it will only keep shrinking.
