Remembering Stonewall

In the past, homosexual men and women were "in the closet," which means they kept their homosexuality a secret, for fear of losing their jobs, etc.

After the Stonewall Riots in 1969, many gay people "came out of the closet." If you have time, I recommend the movie "Milk," with Sean Penn. It is about this topic.

Are homosexual people in your country "in the closet" or "out of the closet?" Has the situation changed in recent years?

Kevin,

I think this is an excellent question and an important topic. About 8% of people in the world are homosexual and most suffer from discrimination even as other groups have overcome it.
