how about Woman's suffrage? The Civil Rights movement? Getting out of Vietnam?
Weren't those all big movements? Weren't those movements suffering from some sort of bigotry?
History isn't on the side of people who are anti-gay lifestyles.
For the record, I don't freaking care if two guys or two girls or a 3-some with 2 guys are happening anywhere in the world. It's not my place to know nor care. All I say is "keep it in the bedroom".

Simo Hayaha laughs at carpet bombing and happily kills the Soviets who tried it on him.
Seriously, he was the most badass sniper/assassin to ever live.

Um, no, paywalls are NOT the source of the future.
In fact, you could probably look up the history of webcomics that used paywalls to get money. While they used paywalls, they were going broke and decided to end the comic in a month, so, for the final month, they dropped the paywall and let people read for free.
Something amazing happened when they did that.
They started making money.
So much so that they didn't need to shut down by the end of the month. By the end of the 2nd month, they finally turned a real profit when they had ran the paywall for years.
