Gay refers to a person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex. In many places in the world, it is still unacceptable. People belonging to such category are not treated in the same manner as the straight people are. The term “Gay” has lot of controversies attached to it.

The views have changed with time. These people are accepted in certain parts of the society. Given the same status and respect as other straight people get. Rather there is nothing of the sort-straight or gay. They are treated normally, given all the rights and freedom like others. Every country is a free country and you can do whatever you want, be with any person you want. It is not a crime.

Also, there are many such people who do not come out so easily in the society thinking about prejudice towards them. The fear of rejection by the family, friends or colleagues bothers them.
