Bullying Must Stop. Period.

Ellen is so right to say that the bullying must stop.

But that is not all:

Committing acts of violence against people who are different must stop.

Converting people in the name of love and religion must stop.

Discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity must stop.

Demonizing politically unpopular groups must stop.

Eradicating rights from loving same-sex couples must stop.

Moronic parenting must stop.

Apologizing for your reaction to bullies must stop.

Simply put, the hate and ignorance must stop.

We have such a long ways to go. It is regrettable and unfortunate that some young people deal with their challenges in our current society with the ultimate consequence. How many more gay teens such as 13 year olds Seth Walsh and Asher Brown (THIRTEEN, DAMMIT) must take their own lives by suicide before We The People get the point?

The bullying must stop.

Let Me Appreciate You By Castration..

Stories like this are utterly disgusting. Imagine that you've made a discovery that literally changes the direction of a world war. Imagine the pride that you must feel in making such a huge difference to countless millions in war weary populations. Then imagine your country focusing on one aspect of your personality, and treating you like a monster to the point that your only way out is to kill yourself.

Yes, this is rather harsh but this article is but one extreme example of the harsh treatment that some gays have faced just for being who they are.

Did you know that at one time, one of the many "cures" for being gay was chemical castration?

Imagine if mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing's homosexuality was "discovered and dealt with" prior to making his discovery during the war against Nazi Germany.
