Younger generations tend to forget the fight older generations fought for us, so we can read an openly gay blog for example. Even worst, we who live in big cities, forget about our gay brothers and sisters in smaller towns, the teenagers, the other minorities, that still suffer from discrimination and bashing. Not to mention our community in places like Iran where being gay is simply dangerous.
The day of course was glorious, the weather was amazing and there were tons of people from all over the country marching pass the White-House and up to Capital Hill. The first speakers were young activities, ages 18-22 and they were the best speakers of the rally, they made all of us emotional and motivated.
But the simple fact is that this is a sad story, the fact that we have to act and protest to get a right that is naturally ours is just wrong. There were tones of really good signs I saw, but I think this one really drives the point home.

I feel for you I really do, but it erks me that you feel you have to publisize your sexuality. Who care who you sleep with. That is a private matter. And frankly Nobody's business. Why did being a homosexual become a OUT thing to do. Why do gay people feel they have to tell the world they sleep with the same sex partner. Who's business is it. And why should I care?
It is your right to do what you want with whomever you want of legal age. But it should be my right not to have to know about it.
