I very much like this editorial. The one thing that I would like to comment on is the fact that we should think of being gay as not to be any weaker or any stronger then another person, it is more along the lines that we sometimes are more experienced in bad situations. One who is born gay does not obtain any better idea of being weak or strong, it just so happens as products of our environment we end up either weak or strong.  
 
To learn and grow from such environment is the key and how we do so. I think it is a born duty of someone who is different and seen as a threat in this world to use the experiences they have as lessons. When you are called down for being gay, for being of a different religion, for being of a different skin colour one must stand up and truly believe that it is not acceptable. We also need to keep in our minds that it is also not acceptable to do nothing in return. One act deserves another of equal or more value. The act that we perform though must be in the name of understanding, not hate. 
 
With every ill word or violent gesture we must react, or else we are letting all the progress that was made in the name of social acceptance seem to be in vein. Taking a look into the African American community in America and elsewhere we must realize one great fact. When they fright for their rights it is not just because they are as a singular person trying to gain equality and freedom. It is one singular person, supported by many trying to gain these things for the greater population. Homosexuals are a minority and as such we must stand together as one. Not to segregate ourselves but to give each other something to fight for and to fall back on. We all can not be the savoir of our brother, just try to think of them the next time you choose to react.
