I've had quite a few gay friends over the years, partied, hung out and did everything you do with friends. I never understood the aversion to people based on who they prefer as a partner. It just seems so juvenile.

Part of me wonders how people that grew up during the 80s and 90s came to think that, it seemed like things were on the right track for acceptance till within say the last 10-15 years (though I may have missed a lot of indicators being straight). Now everything is so polarized and it really makes me sad not just for lost rights of my old friends but cause it's like society is regressing in its ideals. Hate and bigotry never help things grow except for conflict and we need less of that.

I think it's just internet impression.

Being gay is soooo much easier today. I would say we reached the utopia, because I don't hide and yet my life doesn't seem different than straight people.

The screaming ones one both sides, the "everyone must know I'm gay" and the "no one should be allowed to show they are gay" are the minority, but they sure are loud. And internet is their megaphone.

But that depends on the country of course. I'm sure gays in Saudi Arabia are not happy.
