Especially America? There are countries executing people for their sexual orientation.
Well in america it seems to seems that people are theologically do things against LGBTQ and enacting them. The news we get and i preface this while knowing America is on the brink of it. That other countries or instutions are savages. Not my opinion but what we see daily.
My guy, there are entire countries controlled by Islamic Extremists where you're lucky if all they do is kill you when they find out you're LGBT, and it's entirely for "theological reasons."
I put this in quotes, because I'm not nor have I ever been a Muslim. But Islamic Extremists will kill gay people for supposed "theological reasons."
It's most definitely not just America doing it because "mah holy book says it's wrong."
