There are still people in the world who fear difference. The great irony is that we are more alike than we are different. Sexual orientation is fairly trivial when it comes to difference. The sex drive is the same. The emotional state is the same. It is just the gender attraction that differs. But rather than try to find common ground outside of those trivial differences, people lash out in a very reactionary, thoughtless way. The religious right is so desperate to hold on to the power they wield in this world, that they are trying to polarize the faithful against a perceived, though unreal, enemy. America has already taken a step forward in its social development. It'll just take a little more time for the next steps to come. Don't be afraid, America. Someone else's love will never take yours away, and it will never force you to love any differently.
