160. I see
Just so you know.

1. Typing in all caps is considered yelling. It's not very polite and puts people off.
2. Though you may not have intended any hate, the opinion you expressed was very hateful. Gay/lesbian people cannot turn off their sexual orientation and "live as straight" no matter what you may believe. To do so would be to deny everything they are and cause great emotional/psychological/spiritual harm. Nor would all of their problems "magically disappear". They'd still be gay/lesbian and the bigotry towards them would still exist. Could you imagine how you'd feel if someone told you you should wear special makeup to make you appear white and therefore all of your problems would magically disappear?

Please stop blaming LGBT people for the hatred others heap upon them.
