Some Hollywood idiots such as Kathy Griffin have been pushing the gay teen suicide thing. Liberals tend to latch on to a cause and seek media attention. It doesn’t matter if there’s any truth to this alleged epidemic of gay teen suicide, just that they get media attention and sympathy from the liberal media.

I have wondered about some of that. Society has never been more open or “tolerant” or accepting of homosexuality than it is right now. Yet we hear so much of gay kids being bullied, suicides, etc.

How is it that society is so intolerant of gays, bullies gays, drives them to suicide, etc. when society has never been more accepting of gays than it is right now?

I’ve often wondered about the gay suicide thing. Current reasoning says that discrimination towards gays leads to depression and suicide.

What if it’s the other way around? The person has depression and the way it is expressed is through gay behavior just as some depressed people might express it through alcoholism and other addictions.
