My thoughts on homophobia

I guess it's allowing gay people access to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Which they do not have at present.
And something that many Americans see as the basis of all law in the US.

Last I heard, in some American states you can still be sacked or refused housing (ie a rental you are paying for) if you are gay.

Huge apols if this is no longer true.

But it is true that same sex couples who are legally joined in other countries are simply not recognised.
So gay tourists might find family they have not spoken to in years (extreme situation) have precedence over their life partner if injured.
