*sigh* I REALLY hope, one day, homophobia completely stops existing...
But I guess I gotta count some blessings. o.o At least, it has, become a lot less of a problem overall ^_^ Like you said, people online are probably rarely (if ever) homophobic now. And I think a lot of parts of the world are trying to make gay marriage legal now too. So it IS getting to be a much better world for people like us! :D
But, anyways, lets drop the topic about your real life people not understanding a bit more. Cuz, even if things are overall improving, i still can't stand reading issues for the gay, bi, and lesbian community much :( I just hate hearing about suffering SO much!!! and unfairness in general. And, anyways, people putting down love is THE worst....but i am glad. that things are improving :)
