We are one site - but I think it is a positive sign that society is moving in the right direction.

I agree, in Calgary I honestly haven't met a person over the last few years that even thinks twice about people being gay. As if it is some kind of "issue", it's just not a thing anymore. I am sure that I am just not maybe seeing some of the discrimination that might go on but as a society it feels much more open than it used to.
Honestly to even see any news items about gay rights or similar, I feel is kind of odd. Like as if talking about left handed people or blue eyed people or some other inane, not that interesting thing. I legitimately don't find it all that interesting and I hope that society continues to advance in this form, particularly the U.S.
