Im not sure..

I think many people are more openminded to homosexuals now..Maybe.

Our depth of thinking has progressed majorly in the last decade or so. of course, you still have your crazy religious dears of whom keep their eyes and ears closed to change.

I dont particularly think their sexual orientation affects this,
maybe a smudge.

HOORAY FOR OPENMINDEDNESS !

How would you react if you woke up one morning and realized you were the bad guys?



Well, I'd go right out and buy myself a white hat!

On a more serious note, the suicide rates among returnees from Iraq and Afghanistan have been a problem for years now. The Bush admin, as is their style, neglected it.

Any suicide is sad and a real discussion about how to prevent this is warranted. However, the assertion in the OP is tasteless.

As a veteran I can honestly say it's people like you who are the bad guy.
