It’s so deep. But sometimes I sit and get so upset when I think about all the hundreds and thousands of gay men and woman all over the world, who are going through such heartache and hard times for just wanting to love someone they love. It makes me so sad and sometimes feel so guilty that I have that simplest freedom whilst others don’t. Sorry to get so deep, but it kills me. I don’t understand why more of us aren’t doing something about it. I’ll leave it there. But fuuuuck…”

Although it is a shared sentiment you still have to address issues even in countries you think are progressive. There is still violence against homosexuality in the States, workplace discrimination is still legal in several states, etc… so although I agree with him there are still equality issues to fix in our “1st” world countries.

There’s much work that remains to be done.

Do pop stars nowadays say anything that doesn’t make them sound either self-righteous or sanctimonious?
Roger Curnock
Don’t feel guilty Sam, rejoice. You weren’t around when you had to fear almost everything.

@meghanada: Was literally just thinking that.

Just write another depressing dirge about it and move on.

Stop whining! Imagine if you were born 60 years ago and what you would have endured.
Take a seat, b*tch.
