People around the world face violence and inequality – and
sometimes torture, even execution – because of who they love, how they look, or
who they are. Sexual orientation and
gender identity are integral aspects of our selves and should never lead to discrimination
or abuse.
LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of
the initialism LGB, which itself started replacing the term gay when in
reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s, as many
felt the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it
referred.
They also have normal life, true love, successful career and
even happy family like everyone else. We are who we are: that’s determined who
we are. Why should we hiding the truth inside the box. We are no criminal. So
why should be shame for your own identity?
Hiding inside the box does not change us. Even worst it’s limited ourselves to move,
speak or even socializing. Be proud of
yourself! One of those LGBT? What the Hell? These 10 people is LGBT and their
successful and power to run the world should makes you people believe that this
“LGBT Things” is pure. The pure of love.
Love because of love not the desperation.
The pure of yourself not the plastic that has limit in doing
things. Be proud people.

10 Tim Cook – Apple CEO
Following Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple, one of the world's
most valuable companies, was always going to be tough. But Cook is putting his
stamp on the company. The son of a shipyard worker, he worked at Compaq and IBM
before arriving at Apple to become Jobs' chief operating officer and is
credited with helping to turn a once-ailing company into the £500bn powerhouse
it is today. As he recently told a technology conference: "We're always
focused on the future. We don't sit and think about how great things were
yesterday. I love that trait. I think it's the thing that drives us all
forward."
As a conclusion, I believe that a
quote has said that,
“ ...It’s my strong belief that when
people love each other and are desirous of creating a committed relationship
with each other that they should be allowed to marry, regardless of their
sexual orientation... ”
