young boy killed for being gay
I usually stay away from political matters, but I had to bring this up.
This year around Valentines Day, a young boy was killed by a classmate because he was gay. This is sad, no horrible, because someone is teaching children that it is okay to kill people because of their sexual preferences! Something should be done! I don't want a country full of people who are afraid to be themselves for fear of getting killed! That's not what this country was founded on! Hatred should not be tolerated!!!

I find the general distaste expressed towards homosexuality to be beyond ridiculous. I've witnessed kids be bullied because of their orientation, but killing someone over it? Madness. Though that's not to say making their lives a misery due to sexuality is at all justified, but it's almost infinitely more moral than killing...
I can only pity the masses if this is what justifying heterosexuality is coming to.
Dave Greenblade, in future I suggest you add more thought into your posts before making them.

Even now, homosexuals are often treated as second class citizens, and alot of prejudice remains. It's not surprising, but definitely backwards and unacceptable.

This is disgusting, really. =/ It's sickening to think that people kill, but how they can kill over something as trivial as sexual preference is completely alien to me. Sadly, I cannot say that I'm at all surprised though. Hell, a guy from my year at school is in jail for killing someone who wouldn't give him a light for his cigarette. Whilst it's devastating that people I know can do things like that, I have to be thankful that atleast the country I live in won't kill you for sexual orientation. I mean, look at what Mugabe did, or worse still in Yemen where homosexuality is punishable by death. =/

damn it! I am so pissed. How can someone be filled with so much hatred that they'd do this! I'd say this was the worst thing I've ever seen but I've seen the work of the KKK. So much hatred...so...much...

There are always people who hate those who are different to them. It's a shame that the world hasn't learned much, even after all the atrocities which have been committed. But the thing is, homosexuals are dehumanised, and believed to be subhuman deviants by people who would do such things. Disgraceful. If anything, the people who kill others based on prejudice are subhuman monsters.
Doubt this is much an issue for debate though, except maybe the causes of prejudice and hate.

Really don't like, as in hate?
What does someone with a different sexual orientation do to harm you or anyone else?
