But at the same time, it's pretty new(new in relative terms of international awareness) of homosexuals coming out of their "shells." Back then, people were silenced for being different so nowadays(people are still getting silenced so it varies on government and home rules), people need to get comfortable and used to others that are "different" which takes time. I mean, look at racism in America. It's taking time and only time will tell if it'll prevail. What I'm saying is, I know quite a few homosexual friends and I myself am straight because I was raised Christian and well, being Christian means you follow God's word and so on and so forth, but I accept my friends as who they are, different sexualities, different religions, different races, different perspectives on life so really it just takes time.
