Suicide is a subject that is very dear to my heart having survived my own suicide attempt only to experience my best friend kill himself 2 1/2 years later. It is a much bigger problem than most people realize and has many contributing factors. Self-loathing is a large contributor to the mental state that can lead to suicide. The pervasive notion propagated by the religious and their political counterparts that homosexuality is an abomination unto god, merely serves as an excuse for kids to bully each other and another reason for a young person just starting to figure out his/herself to have self-hatred.
The fact that all of this is being largely ignored gives us a hint into the motivations behind the people pushing this accepted hatred. Since they believe that sexuality is a choice, I'm sure they believe that people are bringing this upon themselves. The fact that they are even ignoring the bullying against people who are only perceived as homosexual, just shows how far they will go to push their agenda, and how little they actually care for the individual.
This official condemnation of homosexuality by political and religious authorities needs to be exposed for what it is, hatred and bigotry disguised as a moral agenda to make the world a holier place.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
