BUT if you harass anyone in real life that is a crime. You need to be aware that a person is a person, not just their orientation (etc..). Y...... reply
I find it funny how there's people who likes moralizing others and judge them about whatever. Do you have any right to do so ? Are you that important that people should listen to you obediently ?
