In my opinion no one is ready for this type of change. The LGBT community has been and will always be looked down upon, because it's "different". "Straight" people don't think that we should have the same rights or even be treated equally to them. I say we because this is a topic that hits home for me. Being a lesbian woman in a committed relationship it's hard having to go places and be stared at like some sort of science project. When the fact remains that if people didn't see me and my girlfriend together they would automatically assume that I was "straight" just like them.
I think that the debate for equal rights for the LGBT community has become some what similar to the fight for equal rights in the African-American community. Its a struggle and a lot of people don't seem to see it as such. But we are people just like everyone else. We feel, love, get angry, want to get married, have children, serve in the military openly, and we want to do this without it being a problem. We just want to be able to live in the country that is supposed to be "THE LAND OF THE FREE".
