it amazes me

It's not that society as a whole allowed this to happen, its people like us who push for it too happen despite what everyone else says. We deserve a round of applause because of the mutual respect the people of the forum have for one another.

If I were to make a guess and there was a general consensus taken about this matter I would assume that the general population would not be too open to what we are all about. But what is great is that there are enough people that understand the value of accepting one another's differences to fight for all of people's freedom. We have to keep vigilant though, because contrary to popular belief, it isn't just simply time that makes people more accepting, because history has known times of greater liberalism and freedom within society.

Like you were saying about Hitler, in Germany before the rise of the Nazi's, Berlin was one of the most liberal cities of Europe there was a large open gay community, and even the first attempts at SRS took place in Germany in the 1930's. And in ancient times it was completely accepted, and at times expected to have homosexual relationships.

And you know about your statement about people getting executed for being homosexual, ya that still happens in certain countries. This is mainly because of religious clerics ruling the government (an example being Iran). So again just stressing my point, it isn't time, its people persevering day in and day out for their rights, and the fight isn't just fought once and forgot about, it is a constant one.

Ya but I'm so happy I have this place as an outlet for mt feelings for sure, so thanks to everyone here.
