Is being gay morally wrong?

Hmm...I worded the last part badly.

I did not intend to be taken as "do nothing until public support switches sides" but "don't expect anything big to happen for 20-30 years when public support does switch".

The frustrating part about gay rights is that there is a large voting population that will vote against gay rights no matter how good of an argument or how deserving these rights are. I will always continue to support gay rights but I will not expect change to happen quickly and neither should you. You should obviously continue to fight for the rights you deserve but do not expect change overnight or, even worse, become completely cynical with this issue.

Change can and will happen, it will just take longer than it should. I'm sorry if this posts gets you angry, and it should, but I am merely pointing out what I see through historical trends with respect to these types of issues. Civil Rights should have happened a long time before the 60s but it would never have had the support to pass before then. Gay rights should have happened a long time ago as well but right now it doesn't have the support to pass. Both those are true sentences but also idealistic. I do not want to have to wait it out either but sometimes there is no other option.

If anything, I think that the world is becoming more nationalist, more conservative, if you take a look at recent elections around the world the right is winning more than the left.

It depends on what aspect you are talking about. I am fairly certain that the recent push towards the right on a whole is just a trend but it seems to me, I might also be wrong, that civil rights have been slowly moving left for a while now.
