I've been watching you play a game of semantics with Tim and shaking my head in disbelief.
What part of a war on Gay people worldwide do you both not understand?
Here's two examples that have NOTHING to do with the United States:

HUNGARY- "Heterosexual Pride" Parade Marches Through Budapest
Calling it a "heterosexual pride parade," about 100 skinheads and their supporters marched through Budapest this weekend to highlight their demand that the local government deny homosexuals the right to use the city's public spaces.

The participants addressed a petition to two MPs of the radical nationalist Jobbik party, Dora Duro and Elod Novak, who attended the march, which asks for a modification of Hungary's law of assembly to prevent such [gay] gatherings. The MPs assured the marchers of their support. This year the Gay Pride Parade was held on July 10 along Budapest's Andrassy Boulevard on a shortened route compared to earlier years and amid heavy police protection. The event, organised each year since 1997, has been disrupted by violent anti-gay radicals in each of the past three years.

Now, here's something else that REALLY makes the point as to how the opposition sees LGBT folk and the "war" on us:

BULGARIA- Orthodox Bishop Hands Out Medals For Opposing LGBT Rights
An Orthodox bishop in Bulgaria has awarded his diocese's highest honor to two men for "defending Christianity" against Satanic homosexuals. The medals went to a local mayor and prosecutor who are behind an attempt to outlaw any public expression of homosexuality such as hand-holding or gay pride parades.

"There is something called public morality. The society is not obliged to watch how somebody is sticking into its eyes their own travesty, and to watch how somebody is destroying the souls of our children, and pours poison into the very idea about the sanctity of the bond between a man and a woman that forms a family. The task of the Orthodox Church assigned by our God Jesus Christ himself, is to protect the moral and ethical principles of scripture. The job of the church is to condemn the devil when he tries to destroy this holy order," declared Bishop Nikolay upon bestowing the medals.

He reminded that in June the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church denounced the Sofia Pride gay parade.
The Bulgarian capital of Sofia has staged small pride parades for the last three years under the heavy protection of national riot police.

****

Here's the POINT.... Any visitor here, including all age demographics by the way, need more than just a shoulder to cry on. They need to be ENGAGED!
Its all fine and dandy to have affirmation but they also need to be informed and to have a firm grounding of their world [LGBT] with like minded folk. There is serious value to that.

This silly game of; "lets play with words," detracts from the realities. [edited. t]

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
