LGBTQ is very important in our culture because the LGBTQ people will not just change their mindset for others. They stand for what they believe just as others stand for what THEY believe. These rights should not be stripped away from LGBTQ people.
You have beliefs and ideas that you stand up for. How would you feel if those were stripped away? How would you feel if people put you down for your beliefs?
Love is love. You love others. LGBTQ people love the same as straight people, just they love different people. So why do we have to put them down for who they love and why they love, when we love just the same, with the opposite sex?
