The latest little poll did by PEW research center indicates that more and more people has been in favor of same sex marriage, though the growth of favoring increases slowly, and Iā€™m glad to see that finding. Because in my opinion, no matter who you are or wherever you live, everyone should have the same legal rights to do whatever you want to do. I don’t really agree to the face that a couple must be comprised of a man and a woman. It’s no doubt that LGTB is the minority of people in the whole world, but it doesnā€™t mean that itā€™s wrong or unacceptable. They are not monsters, on the contrary, they are just perfectly normal people who fall in love with each other like we all do. I used to read some news about some international stars coming out of the closet, but in china, you can barely hear that kind of thing on TV. Maybe due to Chinese conventional culture, a majority of people consider these relationships as taboos, which leads to those stars canā€™t admit their real sexual preference, otherwise they may ruin their career by themselves. I think that this is kind of pathetic, because you seems to be the main strain satr and have million fans, but the people who they only like is pretended by you. I have this friend who never shy away from his being gay, and he never feels shame of whom he really is. But I found he had two wechat accounts by chance, oneā€™s for us and the other one is prepared for his family, which makes me realize that it will still take a long time to conquer these problems in China.
