Why Does America Hates The Gays?

Yesterday Argentina legalized same sex marriage nationwide becoming the first Latin American country to allow gay couples to have the same rights and protection as heterosexual couples.  It's about time that we adjust legislations according to the changes in society and re-evaluate our state of 'equality' throughout the nation.   The 16 hour debate was a close call with 33 voting in favor of, and 27 voting against, finally at the wee hours of 4 AM the decision was made.

Don't be too quick to celebrate though because there is an overwhelming amount of work to be done right here in America.  While Argentina has taken a profound step towards equality, our nation is still plagued with ignorance and intolerance.

With Arizona adamant about racially profiling immigrants and the Tea Party vigilantly attacking the NAACP, it is no surprise that America's disposition for prejudice surfaces once again.  Toleration is not enough as it only allows pluralism and superficially peaceful coexistence.  It's not enough that gay people get to participate in Pride Week, they deserve to see their loved ones at a hospital and have these same tax benefits, adoption rights, and inheritance rights as heterosexual couples.
