why do gay people get so much support?

[~]

As a straight man, there's no possible way you'd understand. There are gay people who are killed for being gay. Kansas is almost passing a bill that will segregate gays from practically everything, including service from a police officer. Gay people are bullied, teased, beaten. They're verbally attacked and get hate from religious people. They get cast out of their own families for being gay. PEOPLE ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE OF THIS. Yet you wonder why gay people receive support?
