Do you guys honestly truly think this world is becoming more excepting?

I sometimes wonder if gay rights organizations are focusing too much on marriage and the military while gay teens are killing themselves. But maybe focusing on these things has led to progress. We have a long way to go.

Double edge sword that one. I often do look around at all these protests for gay marriage and the money being spent on 'conscience votes' and the repealing of the DADT laws, then 5 minutes later read about a 14 year old commiting suicide as a result of homophobic bullying and wish there was a middle ground that would benefit both ends of that spectrum.

Which issue is going to lead to greater acceptance if we focus more on it? I mean don't they say that if you start teaching tolerance to the young that you set the ball rolling for future generations?

My personal opinion, I think we could focus more on the youth issues and put it up there as just as important as Gay Marriage and DADT.

As far as the world becoming more accepting...when I was a teenager Homosexuality was illegal and a mental illness. Gay 'meeting places' were haunted by groups of thugs.
