Gay People Fight For Their Lives, Can You Help?

Let’s face it, not every­one is cool with gay mar­riage. In fact, even the idea of gay mar­riage being legal­ized is some­thing that many peo­ple have prob­lems with. Many gay peo­ple in the United States and across the world have been treated poorly. They have been beaten and abused phys­i­cally and emo­tion­ally. Many peo­ple feel that gay peo­ple shouldn’t be clas­si­fied as human, while on the other hand many peo­ple feel gay peo­ple are only human. Gay peo­ple are reg­u­lar peo­ple who have a dif­fer­ent pref­er­ence. They are not aliens nor are they a dif­fer­ent species, but many of them are treated that way. They should be treated as reg­u­lar human beings, not ani­mals or aliens. What do you guys hon­estly think? Any­how below is a list of the states that have legal­ized gay mar­riage as well as the states that haven’t legal­ized it.

What do you guys think about the legal­iza­tion of gay mar­riage and the way that gay peo­ple have been treated? Does it need to stop? Or do you agree that the legal­iza­tion of gay mar­riage should not take place? Do you think that gay peo­ple should be treated poorly because they are dif­fer­ent just like every­one else?
