In a lot of ways I agree with you.
However, I am very grateful to have been born in and live in this country, the USA.

In the past few years I have met gay people in Moldova, Romania, and Georgia who fear for their life at the risk of being found out. In Russia the police frequently and openly persecute gays (like the police did here in the 1960s) while the Russian government forbids gays from assembling because the official stance is that gays don't exist. In the middle east and most of Africa simply being labeled as gay or bisexual is grounds for stoning to death under shia law.

While the EU seems to be ahead in terms of equality for gays, many gays in the UK, Netherlands, and Sweden are still victims of gay hate crime and denied services by the local governments.

So, what I'm saying in a round about way is that while things are not great here. They aren't all that much better anyplace else either. Americans are slowly turning away from the religous crazys that have held too much power for too long and the young people of today are lots more tollerant to GBLT community. I'm very happy to be american and am glad to be a part of the social change taking place today.
