If I were a member of a group that was constantly under attack by society, I would be depreseed too.
Attacked? Who are you kidding?
Gays have extra-special rights in this country. They ave been given plenty of special opportunities via affirm action type arrangements. Special set-asides for segregated neighborhoods have been done. In my city, Gays have special taxpayer paid for rainbow street and sidewalk markers, something that no other group or race or religion would ever get. If they did, you can bet Gay bigots would be on the front lines in protest.
There is accomodation everywhere, on TV, in film, even in school curricula for the Gay viewpoint.
Yet it still doesn't matter to Gays what other human beings think, or how they vote, Gays will still attack, attack, attack like one-track mind ideologues. They are even so hateful now to attack Churches, and in many Gay areas Churches welcome Gays!
From any outsider vantage point, it's clear that Gays are willing to stab their fellow citizens in the back, and are unwilling to even remotely respect their neighbors' thoughts, views, and democratic votes in any kind of cooperative spirit.
Excellent posts CarolinaBredChicagaon and Mooseketeer
Those aren't excellent threads because they place the blame on heterosexuals for all the problems that LGBT's have!
Let's just keep it simple: It is not the fault of "society" that Gays have much higher rates of STDs than heterosexuals. Nice try with all the head-faking though.
Really, because I see a lot of heterosexuality on TV, in movies, and certainly had it reinforced in school also.
That's because it's the biological NORM as per mammal species on planet Earth. WTF????
Come on already, can't someone here admit there has been plenty of "special" accomodation done, and give thanks just once for it? The all or nothing ideology of the Gays is really bordering with full-blown intolerance and hate. Gays have to respect the opinions of their neighbors and fellow citizens without reactionary lawsuits, violence, etc.

I'm not sure that that's true, but even so, that's not the entire topic of the thread.

It is true. Read the link in the first post in the thread. For someone who wants to stay on topic of the thread, it would help if you read the first post in total.

I said they are attacked by society, which you conveniently chose to ignore in your list of ways in which hard-fought battles have been won to assure their constitutioal rights. The reason the government does enact laws to protect them is exactly because society is predisposed to attack them.
They are placed in the story lines of movies and TV shows for the same reason blacks were in the 1930's---comic relief. "Not that there's anything wrong with that". And nobody objects.
Do you need more sources? There are plenty (but you already know this anyway).
