Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
Usually for both parties it's somewhere in the middle, and that is where the hypocrisy starts.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here. If there are multiple parties and they make a compromise on the issues, so there's something in it for every group, that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Can you explain what hypocrisy you're talking about?

The truth is what most people believe is the truth.
No. The rules are what most people agree are the rules; the truth doesn't change; that's about facts, and opinions have no effect on them.

I don't want to live in a place where fabulouss making out is allowed
So you're saying that if that would be allowed in your country, you would move to a different country? Why do you care so much about who they love and how they show that? By the way, I hope you will talk about this with your LGBT friends. I'm sure they'd be happy to talk to you about it, and it may be enlightening to both of you.

I don't want all western modern values all over the world
I agree with you on that, which is why I wrote before that if other countries make laws that don't agree with my values, I don't want to interfere (but sometimes I do; it depends mostly on whether the people of that country decided it, or they were forced by their rulers).

People are not equal, because people are different.
Yes; that's why I'm not asking for equality of people, but just equal rights. Because the differences between people shouldn't be a reason for getting more opportunities.

I just wasn't motivated enough.
As I wrote before, it's fine to use that lie for your own motivation. But that doesn't make it true. The fact is you didn't get the same opportunity as others, and that's unfair. Don't tell yourself that you don't deserve better: you do. And similarly, LGBT get to demand equal rights for things like kissing in public (regardless of whether it's allowed for everyone or forbidden for everyone).
