Here we go again. WHO GIVES A FLYING BLEEP ABOUT MARK BINGHAM'S "SEXUAL ORIENTATION"? WHY IS THIS SO BLEEPING IMPORTANT? These people who keep pounding that drum should be told flat to sit down and shut up. Mark Bingham was an American. Period.
Then I assume it would have been okay with you if he had wanted to marry his partner and adopt some kids, like any other American has the right to do.

After reading this thread, I think I finally understand the rules regarding this subject.

Anytime a gay person does something heroic or could be protrayed as a sympathetic victim, their sexuality is irrelevant, pointless, gratuitous and is not to be mentioned.

On the other hand, whenever a gay person does anything scandalous, criminal, or even slightly objectionable (say, consider an ambasadorship), their sexuality must be addressed and preferably vilified, whether or not it's germane to the controversy.

Any variation on these rules shows a clear pro-homosexual bias.

Take my advice: Do not go there.
