Will The Wave Of LGBT Suicides Push Republicans To Co-Sponsor Casey's Anti-Bullying Bill?

Tanya Somanader points out that despite the growing number of LGBT suicides in recent weeks, conservative outfits are still insisting "that anti-bullying measures are nothing more than insidious tools of the 'homosexual agenda':

    – The American Family Association of Michigan: describes anti-bullying measures as "a Trojan Horse to sneak [homosexual activists'] special rights agenda into law" and to "legitimize homosexual behavior" which is "a practice scientifically proven to result in a dramatically higher incidence of domestic violence, mental illness, illegal drug use, promiscuity, life-threatening disease, and premature death."

The anti-bullying measures protect children. That's what makes me mad, they treat me and other kids like we're inhuman and don't deserve equality, I want to go to school without having to worry about being assaulted. I have never done drugs and I never plan to, I believe sex is only right when you're married or in my "present" case between someone I love and plan to be with until I die. My natural death is none of anyones business except Gods.

Unfortunately only when it is one of their children or grandchildren, and they are directly blamed in public.

I am tired of old men telling me ,and others, what we can do, when it has nothing to do with illegal or hateful activities.
