Having been there for the passing of several family members, I can say that suffering shouldn't even be necessary in our world today. But there are still those out there that feel they have the right to dictate to others every small detail of living. How many of us here on BFP have heard that we are going to hell just because we have embraced our sexuality? My Mom loves me but I'm going to hell she says.
With that in mind, you have the same group mindset that throws up a wall when this issue comes up. They want to toss up every religious, biblical and ethical wall to stop what they deem as a very evil thing.
I haven't seen the documentary. Sometimes, societal views and changes come about because of those people that are willing to share their stories no matter how sad or bitter. I have no doubt in my heart and soul that a human being should not suffer until the sad and often very extremely painful bitter end.
