"what others don't have".

And I always get in trouble for that.

Here, from the examples given, are what GLBT do not have.

1. they cannot legally get married in Oklahoma (or most other states)
2. some salespeople wrinkle their nose upon hearing you are gay
3. you cannot find proper greeting cards

To me that looks like the glass is more than half full, because here's what this person HAS (and just incidentally I, and perhaps others, do not)

1. they have somebody who wants to marry them
2. they have somebody who (presumably) supports them
3. they have somebody who shares expenses and resources with them

See, people look UP and they say "I want equality" or "I don't have it THAT good" instead of noticing that there may actually be people below them. That while they are looking up and saying "I want what THEY have up there". And often I look at them and say "I'd like to have what YOU have".

And, of course, I will only be told what a terrible person I am for comparing my own personal problems to actual discrimination.

And, hell, how can I even have REAL personal problems when I am playing the game of life on the easiest of all possible settings?

Although when I was younger, I used to rage at God about life, or more specifically my life. And more than once I imagined God looking at me and saying "I cannot believe how much you complain. If you could see what I see. There are people on this planet who are REALLY suffering. YOU are not one of them."
