Queer people have always been a part of humanity. And if we truly believe in freedom and liberty, then we have to allow LGBTQs the freedom to live as they see fit, as long as they're not breaking laws or violating anyone else's rights.
I don't like the KKK or other white supremacist groups, but they have the freedom to believe and live however they like, as long as they stay within the law.
That's the deal we make in the US. Freedom sometimes means people you don't like or agree with can do and live as they like,
I agree. What I see are a lot of people who don't want to take responsibility for raising their own children; they want the nanny state to do it all for them. The expect lawmakers to change all the laws they don't like to protect their own kids from the evils of the world. But there will always be evil in the world, and it's not the state's job to eradicate evil. It's the parents' job to raise their children and teach them right from wrong regardless of the environment. You don't change the people or the culture through legislation, but by winning over their hearts and minds.
