It's time that gay/lesbian/bi/transgender individuals are fully and unconditionally accepted into our society. Without question, these people are overdue for the love and acceptance that any straight person enjoys.
What saddens me is that these loving, sweet, intelligent young men cut their lives short because they had no hope for a world where they could live without fear. In our country of such individual freedom, how is it that we allow this go on? It is time for this population to feel accepted and to accept and love themselves.
Even if in your mind, you believe that being GLBT is "wrong," whatever that means, how can you ever justify that anyone is deserving of bullying, verbally abuse or physical harm? Anyone attacking someone's race/gender/religion or sexual orientation clearly has something they feel inferior about themselves.
