This ideal is constantly built into are minds as they way of life. However, there are some people who find love in the same sex. Be it a man with a man or a woman with a woman. This type of love is called homosexuality. People of this nature are usually stuck with a stigma as being "sexually selfish and irresponsible," because they do not take the responsibility of "parenthood." The even worse stigma homosexuals" have dealt with is the prejudice that "all" homosexuals are "perverted," and "prey on the young."

GLF is organized in many major US cities from NY to SF and LA, in the Midwest and south.
