So much intolerance here in my family with my parents and sister. My sister is nicer, but she's as opposed to gays and transgender folks as they are. I wish they could see that they are people too - that they are deserving of warmth and love, like any living creature.

I hope that in the future, here in the United States, there will be an era of peace ushered in for all people. Straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - everyone. I hope we'll be able to see gay couples walk down the streets without fear of reproach; that they and transgender people will become as natural a sight as anyone.

If you guys have some info on gay and transgender rights, please share it with me here. I feel so backwater up here in Ohio, around so many bigots and intolerant people. If the rights of gays and transgender people are winning, tell me where, or how, please.

I want to know that global, equal love is winning.....
