Then again, as long as we're redefining everything else, might as well redefine "courage".

ETA: Look... I don't personally care that some choose to do things differently with their lives. Really. I just don't think they should get special treatment.
thats because you haven't had to walk a mile in their shoes.

Being different from societal norms is not easy. It's like being bullied in primary education school...only every day of your life. At work, in public, at the store, movies, amusement park, parking lots, sporting events, college...just because you don't fit everyone else's ideals of normal. You get gawked at, called names, sometimes chased to your car, assaulted, even raped or worse, you get murdered and have your body thrown in a dumpster...just for being different. These are all things the LGBT community has had happen to them and even today they continue to happen.

Courage comes in many, many different forms, not just in the form of military heroics.

Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman were very courageous in their work to free slaves.

First Responders are. A witness that steps up and does the right thing by testifying against a criminal is. A dog that saves a family from a burning house is.
