Decriminilized and accepted are two different things.

Still, a step in the right direction.

It's proper progress. Sadly the social reforms needed to get LGBT folks accepted will take generations at least. Us Americans should know that very well.

people say the slippery slope doesn't exist but i've seen it

You don't have to like it but it's legal
you have to tolerate it
you have to accept and embrace it
if you don't have gay sex at least once in your life you're probably a bigot

I'm curious as to the last item there, and what prompted its inclusion?

Also, it's not a matter of slippery slopes not existing.

Recent articles stating that if you don't want to have sex with a trans person then you are a bigot

Funny, I thought the joke was that if gay men don't find women attractive that they'd be considered misogynist.

Seriously, though, I'm guessing ABS is anti-gay. This is the kind of thing that really drives home that whole "stuck in the middle" feeling I tend to have for most things.

I'm LGBT-positive, they deserve more empowerment and recognition, and yet, there's very few if any guys I'd ever like to, um... well, you can guess, and even then, women are my preference, so I simply wouldn't do that out of respect. I want something more permanent. Doesn't make me misandrist. You could argue anything else does, if you feel like that, but having a preference? No. Though it is sadly revealing. Most people are hopelessly shallow and superficial, in everything they do and say and feel and think...
