The author mentioned that homosexuality is nature born. In the other words, it has something to do with the chromosome. Most people might think that there was deep-rooted stereotype against gays and lesbians in the public. However, as time passed by, the author pointed out that sometimes it was the homosexuality that had the “ discrimination” against themselves. They searched for therapy so as to change themselves into so-called “ ordinary people” (straight guys.) Some may succeed eventually, but most could not. Most people have the tendency of being homosexuality; thus, the environment may affect some of them in some way. That is to say, some people could accept both genders. From the other aspect, some homosexuality could not change their sexual tendency if they have strong genetic tendencies.

“ We may not have in a traditional sense of raising up a family, but we take care of our family. We are very engaged with our parents, sisters, brothers, ...I think it was a misconception that black gay men don't want to have a children but I do want to have kids, ...” “ Is that being a gay is wrong ... so how can you really ever be one hundred percent proud of who you are in the society that does not accept us?” From the interview with some homosexual people, we, as the listeners, could understand their struggle and pain in heart.
In sum, a person should not be measured by the opinions of others. One should always love and accept oneself and others would treat them equally for sure.

Annotation:
Sometimes it is the Homosexuals themselves that cannot fight against the discrimination toward them. They considered much more things than the public. In other words, they care the public thought too much. They think that they might not be accepted by the public. However, nowadays, most people do treat them equally. The above mentioned can be proved in the Video. The boy in the video showed his panic.
