Harvey Milk said the single most powerful thing we can do to make the gay stigma go away is COME OUT. One has to wonder what Mr. Cooper is waiting for. Still, he's doing good good work.

Christian man reminds us that Billy Lucas is in Hell. And he deserved it.
As you watch this video, remember that this guy is talking about a 15 year-old kid who took his own life. This Christian man is doing this pontificating two weeks after Billy hung himself in his family's Indiana barn, after merciless homophobic bullying. This Christian man has taken it upon himself to help us all understand Billy's plight in this Christian man's imagined afterlife ONE DAY after 13-year old gay student Seth Walsh, who hung himself nine days ago and was taken off of life support (yesterday), and less than a month after eighth grader Asher Brown put a bullet in his brain after enduring years of anti-gay taunting and bullying at his Texas middle school.
The pressures of growing up gay are immense. That's not to say these kids even were gay . . . but in each case it was the bullying and taunting of their peers about their perceived homosexuality that pushed them past rationality and into despair. The bullies have to be taught to taunt, to hate, and to identify and LABEL a weakness. Hi, horrible parents. Hi, society at large allowing this. How are you all feeling this afternoon?
THESE ARE VICTIMS OF SHAME,
and shame is imposed by the outside world.
The majority of the world's religion have decided to take formal stances that make the lives of these kids even harder. If you're a person of faith, won't you please make your voice heard within your congregation, your diocese, your coven, your whatever the hell you go to? Now, sorry you have to see this hateful man. . . who is wrong in his interpretation, and hard in his heart, but here it is: UPDATE: he's taken his screed down, because in addition to being a bigot, he is also a coward.
