Honestly that's ********. You are suggesting that even though it's a problem, we should just accept it and try not to bring attention to it?
Think about this - do you think all these steps towards equal rights for gays would have been taking place at such an accelerated rate if the media didn't make such a shitstorm about all the gay suicides and bullying? Unfortunately, we HAVE to be constantly reminded of the negative things in our society because that is only way CHANGE can be made. If we are complacent and passive about it then nothing gets better. There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't discuss this when there are thousands of topics about much more frivolous and irrelevant **** in this forum. If you just don't want to deal with it right now, then get the hell out of the thread.
