If everyone is equal why must there be things that promote equal but separate?
Would it not be better to be acknowledged as a good person than be known as a good (gay, black, guy, girl, whatever) person? For me, true equality is to be thought as equal without qualifying adjectives needed.

If I were you, I'd probably be more concerned with Europe. And maybe source some data to back your list of claims. But hey, I'm just a heterosexual, caucasian, American Male.
What would I know outside of oppressing others right?

Thank you, some worrying things on this list, alot I will probably have to read up more on but if just the hiv/aids thing is true then I would not endorse that as any halt to funding any deadly desease in my book is a no no.
Thanks again for your well formulated reply.
This wasn’t a trivial, “let’s rename a post office” bill either. The bill reauthorized PEPFAR — the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief — through 2023. PEPFAR provides billions in annual funding and technical support for antiretroviral treatment, HIV-preventing male circumcisions, and other efforts to treat and prevent HIV.
PEPFAR is one of the best government programs in American history, probably the best since the Great Society. Studies examining its impact on the AIDS crisis abroad suggest that the programs saved the lives of at least a million people, and has done so cost-effectively. Shockingly, PEPFAR is a major government program that is mostly uncontroversial.
Religious conservatives and faith leaders love it; it was originally launched by President George W. Bush, and Chris Smith, perhaps the most passionately anti-abortion Republican member of the House, sponsored the reauthorization. But progressives and in particular the Congressional Black Caucus have been among its strongest champions as well. Barbara Lee, the famously left-wing House member for Oakland and Berkeley who cast the only vote in Congress against the resolution authorizing Bush to use military force after the 9/11 attacks, also worked with the Bush administration to create PEPFAR, and cosponsored the reauthorization with Smith.
“Bipartisanship is not dead,” Jennifer Kates, the vice president and director for global health and HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told me. “This is one of those rare examples in Washington. There’s been an incredible history of bipartisanship around PEPFAR that stands outside the rancor we hear about.”

LGB this, LGB that.
That's all I got out of your post.
None of this crap was ever an issue through the eighties and nineties. It's only been an issue since the leftist whackos started making a mountain out of a molehill.
No normal person gave a single sh!t about what people did to their genitals until people like you started screaming about it.
