If you were gay...

Having a homophobic government, would it be bad in this day and age? I'm not convinced it would. After section 28, proposition 6, a different age of consent for same-sex couples, sexual acts between men being illegal (read about The Tea Room Trade study) and so many other issues and strife that the LGBT community has had to deal with, would the general public accept any action that a government took to try to hurt the gay community? Considering that, is it the right of politicians to interfere in people's relationships? If not consenting or if they are a minor yes blah blah blah. But in the case of two (or more) consenting adults, should they just shut the hell up and keep their noses out? Maybe they should. Do you think that shows like Glee and Ugly Betty with characters like Kurt Hummel and Marc St. James and Justin Suarez, help? Or do they just perpetuate the myth that all gay men only care about musicals, make-up and clothes?
With the media portraying the Conservatives as the anti-gay party, why would they have gay party members? Surely they wouldn't want to stay in that environment?
Btw I'm glad Philippa Stroud lost, she's an idiot (Y)
Homophobia is commonly a sign that the person may actually be homosexual. Agree or Disagree?


The song should be known by a fair few :)
