I often wonder where those 11 are. When we consider our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance and understanding becomes glaringly apparent. Our lives are made up of the sum total of our choices. These choices directly and indirectly affect our own lives and the lives of those around us. In reality, there is very little difference between the structure of a gay or lesbian relationship and a heterosexual one.
All positive relationships have honesty, commitment, and forthrightness at their core.
Family values are important in all relationships and parenting is not exclusive to heterosexuals. It would be refreshing to find a place somewhere in this world seemingly free of homophobic prejudices a place where people could simply be themselves, no questions asked, a place where acceptance, regardless of sexual orientation, is a given, not a gift. You can laugh about it. You can cry about it. You can even shout about it.
