If a gay teen commits suicide, it's a national tragedy. But if a soldier dies, it's a short segment on the news, amirite?

that's because gay teens don't have friends so they need the whole nation to feel sorry for them soldiers are not completely outcast from society ergo they don't need a nation crying and bitching for them gays should die

This is so true, I mean, soldiers risk their lives, everyday.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Soldiers choose to risk their lives. Gay people never chose to be gay- nobody would want that torment and ridicule. Soldiers knew what they were getting into when they joined the army. They weren't abused to the point where they felt that they had to take their own life because they didn't feel safe.

...this is also why we have veterans day though. There are too many soldiers who die, so it would be impractical to write an entire page about each of their lives. Soldiers choose their job and know the dangers.

There should be celebrations of when a queer decides to do the most noble and honorable thing a fag could possibly do and end themselves. When Dr. Frankenrift had sex with a boy and told his dad he loved him, he realized a week after how horrible and destructive and lower than animalistic it is to be a gay, and put on a dress and leaped in front of a massive train speeding along. It spewed pieces of homo all over the place. And it was cool.

I am a suicidal lesbian (no joke, but I'm getting help), and I find it just awful how badly soldiers are treated. I don't care if you support the war or not, they are RISKING THEIR LIVES for YOUR rights, to protect people they haven't even met, and it's just cast aside. I agree, there needs to be more dedication to soldiers that have died, are MIA, and their families.

I hate that they're only worried about people committing suicide because they were bullied for being gay. When thousands of kids commit suicide every year because of bullying in general.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

This exactly. I'm glad somebody else sees this! It's awful that the only suicides anyone cares about these days are when they involve gays. All suicides are tragic... Unless they're like Hitler or something.

I can kind of see both sides to this. On one hand, gay teens shouldn't be any more important than a solider. But then again, many soldiers die every day, and that's sort of to be expected, you know? and suicide is different than being killed in battle, it's definitely sad that anyone would be pushed to the point of killing themselves. I do, however, think that soldiers should get more respect for risking their lives every day, because I know MOST people wouldn't be willing to do this. I feel like it would be more comforting for a parent or anyone to know that their son or daughter died while risking their lives for other people, than having a kid that killed themself for any reason. I'm not going to vote up or down on this one, because death is serious no matter what.

It's considered more of a tragedy because of the of the civil rights this particular type of bullying violates. That's something we as a national need to address and prevent (at least to a certain degree) to remain a somewhat civilized society. I mean people are still racist as all hell but it's not as accepted, that's the whole point. It's not as common to see people getting bullied for being black, etc. As far as soldiers go, if they made it seem like a tragedy every time one died then too many people would protest the war, it would be an inconvenience. War will never go away, and soldiers will always die.

Soldiers (the undrafted ones) willing go into war with the possibility of being killed. A gay teen, or any teen at that, shouldn't have to go to a school that mentally/physically abuses them as much as to make them take their own lives. It's different because it shouldn't be happening in a place that supposed to be safe. Citizens who have done nothing wrong shouldn't feel the need to commit suicide because others can't accept them.

In my opinion, no one death is more tragic than another. All people who have passed deserve the same level of respect.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

People saying soldiers chose to risk their lives and gay kids didn't...are you retarded? Do you think the gay kid with a gun to his head or a rope around his neck DOESN'T know what's going to happen to him? That's ridiculous. Bottom line, soldiers deserve to be honored more. They're both tragedies, but the gay one did it himself and the soldier did it for you.

But is it right that the person thoguht there was no way out? That there was no other choice? I love soliders with all my heart and respect them, but the soldiers knew that it would be very practicle to be killed by anothers hand. Did the gay child know that they were going to be bullied, teased, and even beatn because of something that they can't help? No. I'm not saying that gay people are better than soilders, it's just that the gay person shouldn't feel like there's no way out.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

@Cashew I don't agree with that. The death of a child rapist doesn't exactly deserve as much respect as a cop. And gay suicides are on the news longer because of stupid intolerance in the school system and it needs awareness. It is an expontentially growing problem in the country. War has been going on since the dawn of time, deaths of soldiers deserve respect an honor but its not helping the cause.

Look, assholes, being gay doesn't give you a free "be a moron and put down straight people" pass. So go do society a favor and stop existing. I beg of you. Your family would if they weren't getting bribed/paid 2K a month by some satanistic faggot sect that also makes those damn sickening queer parades. Die out of existance.

1) Soldiers are aware of the risks when they join the military, and there's not a huge group of people here who seek to demean, devalue, and restrict their lives based on the fact that they're in the military. I don't think anyone is unaffected by the news when soldiers die, but it shouldn't be a shock. 2) For some reason, particularly in the US, the "majority"(white, and male for the most part) seems to always need people to look down on and say "This group of people is not worthy of everything we have; we are better than them". Homosexuals are just the most recent in a long list of wronged groups including Native Americans, Africans, and of course women of any color all along... the only way that changes is by spreading awareness and truth, and fighting against the ignorance and oppression that these groups suffer. THAT'S why gay teens who commit suicide get big news stories; because we're trapped in a loop of wrong and unethical behavior due to the fact that majority can't ...

almost every kid gets bullied at some point in their life and not all of them commit suicide, it is a result of a psychological disorder when someone commits suicide whether they are gay or not. it is a shame how little attention we pay to the death of a soldier when they died to protect our country. a loss of any person is a tragedy

Calling a queer a human being is like calling a semi-iced over small puddle a raging scorching iron-melting inferno. As in... dont. Just don't. Because they are not. murderers thieves and career criminals are far superior. They're a step under baby rapers. Again, go die. Quit trying to impress somebody- suceed by dying.

Commiting suicide is not a psychological disorder. Imagine being tormented everyday for something that you cannot change. Imagine living in a country that regularly boasts about freedom of speach and choice but when you state your opinion and choice you are beat down for it. When you are tormented everyday you lose hope and you start to become quieter. You lose the will to live because you don't feel acctepted and you feel like nobody cares if you live another day. That is NOT some psychological disorder. That was inflicted by prejudice cowards who do not take the time to stop and get to know the different people in the world. Try some empathy and compassion!

Gay people are people. soldiers are people. Death is death, but the reason it happens is different. Soliders deserve respect, but gays should be respected too. Homosexulas are always being bullied and spit on because of something they can't help. It's like saying black/asian/mexican people are stupid and deserve to die because they are different. Most gay people are civilians *I say most because of the whole recent thing about not letting gay people serve* and deserve to be safe within their own country that is SUPPOSED to be safe. Soldiers know that they are going to be shot at and possibly killed. It's more the governments fault for not protecting its citizens properly and just watch as people bully others. Soldiers know that they're getting into something, and are willing to be killed if nessecary to protect their nation. Gay people didn't sign up for that, and yes it IS their fault that they commited suicide, but I'm sure most of the people who said that they're overreacting and

said that they were stupid for it, have never been in the situation where they felt like the only way they could escape is to die. Bottom line: Gays are more of a victim, soldiers aren't. Soldiers are great, but they have DAYS dedicated to them. I'm not saying one is more important than the other, but it is pretty much equal in the sense of being exposed and talked about.

I can't believe people are saying things like this.. No matter what you think about homosexuality, NOBODY deserves to be bullied to the point that they actually KILL THEMSELVES. Some of these comments just make me want to cry. How can people be SUCH idiots. We're all humans. Don't be saying people deserve to die because of their lifestyle. Anyways, Soldiers die every day. Gay teen suicides are less frequent, but still a big problem. Soldiers' deaths do deserve more attention though.

Amish_Allosaurus: no one will ever take you seriously in life because of how absolutely intolerant and unintelligent you come off. You "faggot queer"-seriously? Grow up. Lordofthewhatever: no one gives a fuck As for the post, I do agree that soliders should be commemorated more. However the situations presented are completely different. The only reason that the suicides received such attention was because this is a growing problem in our nation that needs to be stopped. No one needs to accept everything that everyone does, but they absolutely need to show respect towards people. I swear I'm losing my faith in todays youth looking at these comments. I can't believe people actually think that way.

honestly there's kind of a big difference gay people who commit suicide usually commit suicide because of stupid jerks who can't accept them. it's a tragedy when a soldier dies, but it's just not the same thing. also, you people who say it's not your fault when someone you bullied commits suicide, newsflash, it is.

lets get this straight, bullying doesn't lead to suicide. A person's mentality(not as in disorder or disease) leads to suicide. Every person in their life has been teased, and a lot of them get over it. SUICIDE IS NOT A DISORDER

by Anonymous 14 years ago

if bullying lead to suicide, looking at a lot of these comments on this site would lead me to think that half of the users on this site would having committed suicide by now, but the fact is that they haven't. so there are many factors to suicide, not just in homosexuals. A soldier dieing is for a cause, and as heartless as this sounds, people who commit suicide do it for what? themselves? So i personally believe a soldier deserves more attention. Just because a soldier dies(even if they are expected to die, which is utter nonsense) doesn't mean they don't deserve recognition, and even more than any suicide.
