These kids were JUST like us, so WHY can't we accept them like we accept OURSELVES.
The only difference between us and them, is that they are BRAVE enough to say,
"You know what? I like MEN! I have accepted that THIS is the way I am."
Someone needs to stop this homophobic, anti-homosexual stuff! It needs to stop NOW!
