Honour killings should be outlawed. This is the 21st century.

When you read these kinds of things I always wonder if they ever talk to their parents. I live in a very progressive country but I would still test the waters before coming out. I have nothing to come out with and I still have talked to my parents enough about things that I am fairly certain that they won't try to kill me if I do.
