Depending on whether they hold a favorable or unfavorable opinion on the subject,
someone else might come up with different questions than I do. There will also be
others who are merely accustomed to everything. The beliefs, presumptions, and ideals
a person has towards the Stonewall Rebellion might be significantly influenced by how
they were raised or by the lessons they were taught. There are others that cheer on the
LGBTQ+ community from a distance and act casually about the issue. Then there are
people who are not a part of the community yet steadfastly support it. Humans are
wired to think that a couple consists of a man and a woman. Its what was program into
the brain of society for a long time. You were not born to love anyone else but the
opposite sex. The question might be the same, but the answer will be completely
different. Love is Love no mater who they are.
