Although America is supposed to be seen as a "free country" in fact, it would be hypocrasey to call it such due to the fact that in this country Gay rights are extremley limited. For example, gay people cannot marry others of their choice, and if they want to do so they must travel to the 4% of the country that allows gay marriage or even to those eastern Europe that was ironically been dubbed as "communist". In a way, this can be called discrimination because a priest, rabi or what not will simply not marry a gay couple just because they are the same gender. In addition gay people in America more often then not get the short end of the stick.
There have been too many times to name when a gay guy interviews for a job and forgets to drop the accent (the gay accent) which in turn ends up screwing him over. Many employers feel it is unnessacary to hire gay people and therefore they suffer for being who they are in this so called "free country". It is harder for gays to get around without being stared at, or even made fun of. Overall gay rights are squeezed to maximum which is why I think many Americans are yet to come out of the closet.
