LGBT Support

I am not gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, but I certainly believe in supporting people who just want to be happy being who they are.  Today was a special day as it stood as a movement to honor those who have taken their lives because of being bullied as a result of their sexual orientation...by wearing purple one could stand today as a "safe zone" if you will (which the idea of a solitary safe zone is ludicrous-but that is another issue).  I am a huge gay rights advocate I guess you could say.  I feel that it is an individual right that we all have to pursue the things that make us happy and that are innate in our beings, as long as it does not cause anyone any physical harm.  I was proud to wear purple today as it represented something that should be acknowledged everyday.  No one should feel so cornered by society that they feel the need to take their own lives in order to free themselves from the isolation that our society makes them feel.  I truly hope and feel in my heart that someday, LGBTs will have their natural human rights-to marry, adopt with no issue, be proud to come out vs being scared-as all minority groups are held back somehow and then later (usually) released from oppression.  I hope that I live to see that day.  That is all.
