/^t/To talk about homosexuals has always been a bad thing to do as they were considered a disease of the contemporary society and the evil of our times. Together with drug addicts and HIV positive people, homosexuals have been always treated differently, and put to the, so called, social margin. And although the movement for the rights for homosexuals has existed for a couple of years, gay couples have not yet succeeded in obtaining the same status as the one granted to every single heterosexual person. Very rarely are they allowed to get married, and hardly ever to adopt children. If we agree that in a democratic society nobody should be discriminated against, we should also see it essential to grant the same rights to all the people, including homosexuals.
