It’s ridonkulous if you come to think of it that in modern times like these, we still have countries like Uganda issuing an ‘anti-homosexuality bill’, Iran having the death penalty for homosexuals - fine. The argument stands that these are developing countries so in time infrastructure will become more advanced, transparency will become more, well, transparent, and society more liberal. But what about the country who boasts to have all these sectors covered? The U.S.?
Out of the 50 states in America, there are only five who grant same-sex marriages.
