Okay first off, I\u2019m straight. I was born in 1979. I\u2019m American.<\/p>\n
Today I was looking at\/reading\/watching some things about Pride and the movement, I just want to say, we\u2019ve come SO far, even in my lifetime.<\/p>\n
I remember the aids crisis and how people were treated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I remember when couples sued in Hawaii for same-sex marriage in 1991.<\/p>\n
I remember when DOMA was passed.<\/p>\n
I graduated high school in 1997. There were NO out people in my entire school.<\/p>\n
I remember a friend when I was in Navy being surprised I knew he was gay and being worried that other people knew. I assured him nobody cared, but of course this was 1998 and he still could have got kicked out for it. (Because of Don\u2019t Ask Don\u2019t Tell)<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve still got a long ways to go, but I\u2019m glad for how far we\u2019ve come. Two folks I knew in high school that have since come out of the closet are happily married and I\u2019m so glad for them. Marriage equality is spreading. I think more and more young people just don\u2019t care about anyone’s orientation and treat everyone the same.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m very glad that I\u2019ve lived through this time and look forward to seeing what else comes our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
