Reference: "disturbing rash of recent gay teen suicides." Has not Americans had enough of one issue politicians? According to Teen Suicide statistics (http://www.teensuicidestatistics.com) "One of the leading causes of death amongst teenagers is suicide. The Centers for Disease control report that it is the third leading cause of death, behind accidents and homicide, of people aged 15 to 24. Even more disturbing is the fact that suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for children between the ages of 10 and 14." Teen suicide is an issue for all teens and our society not just for those who are homosexual. But why should we expect the media NOT to sensationalize their agenda. Teen suicide is a psychological issue as is homosexuality. Various causation – none genetic - have been identified but ignored by our society because we love to see other suffer and live destructive lifestyles. This makes us feel better about ourselves; hence, the success of tabloids and reality TV. We encourage behavior we ourselves indulge in order to feel justified. Deep down we have inner turmoil because few are willing to address the real causation rather we encourage the path into darkness.

We do not need politicians encouraging destructive lifestyles, we need leaders making tough decisions to actually reduce government spending and fix the hemorrhaging of US manufacturing jobs overseas.
