Solutions like legalizing gay marriage are good and all America needs is a total overhaul of how we view gays, and not as gays, but as human beings like us. . Don't try to change them as they are, but accept them as they are and treat them with respect. The LGBT community doesn't just want legal marriage, they want to integrate and be accepted into the mainstream world as humans and not just gays, the same way black people want to be equal with white people or deaf people who want to be accepted. just as much as someone who can hear. Saying that being gay is a crime is basically saying that being blind is a crime. People use the excuse that "it's against their religion" but so are tattoos and divorce, but we don't see you protesting.
