We all know that homophobia exist all around the world and that it is a difficult subject to talk about for some people. It is not everyone that is open-minded and accepts all people regardless their status. Some people say that gays are provocative and difference from us, but I completely disagree with them.

While side effects do occur, the risk of severe adverse reactions to vaccinations is minimal. Some parents have reported signs of autism weeks after…
