Personally I think it'd take another generation or two for the society to accept homosexuals... there's still people in my parents and older generation that frown about this type of stuff... (and my parents arent even religious)

but all my non religous friends, (i dont have many religious friends anyway) are all very accepting that, everyone has the right to love anyone, regardless of their gender.

Unfortunately there's still more people from older generations that cant see through that, so majority wins usually...

I think most parents hope that their kids are heterosexual, no parents really think "omg i hope my kid is homosexual" so... i think its normal for parents to act like that...

of coz, if they've got a religious background their reaction would probably be more "OMG NOOOO" but even if your parents are not christian / catholic.. it'll still be hard for them to accept...

As long as there is religion, I think there will always be some level of discouragement of homosexuality. But so far... I don't have any friends, of any religion, who frown upon homosexuality.

We don't need a camp queen in office. Seriously. We have all the drama we need.

Rofl.

And about Prop 8? I really couldn't care less... But still, widely accepted homosexuality is inevitable. Just remember the blacks history.

Is voting compulsory in US?

nope.

=/

for good and bad.

Ha, that would be nice, but no, its not compulsory. We rarely get over 50% turnout even for national elections.

But on the other hand, I don't want someone who doesn't know anything about an issue or has never heard of an issue to vote either way.

I don't think it could be any worse. It doesn't seem like most of the people who vote are paying attention, anyway.
