One of the few things that I dislike about living in the United States is the completely weak ass position that my government takes on GLBTG rights. Unfortunately, it is the last socially acceptable bias left in our society. That being said, it should explain why the US government is unwilling to change things. THe US government doesn't want to get to far ahead of public opinion, and the US is an inherently conservative nation.
It wasn't always this way. 222 years ago the people of the United States were liberal enough to through off the chains of their oppressors. Now, we've gotten used to the good life.
Sometimes I wonder when the rest of the people are going to realize that 10% of us are being denied basic civil rights, but, I don't think 10% is enough for a revolution. I guess I can only live in hope of the famous 80/20 solution, that someone among the 80% will stand up for those of us among the 20%.
That being said, even with all the problems, there is no where outside the US i would rather live.
