@randyjacksonsbutt: First, how does gays in the military take "priority" over unemployment? What does that mean? Is there some statistic you're citing? The idea that it's taking "priority" in the government's agenda is something you simply made up. Secondly, you do understand how many gays have been dismissed from the military and how this affects everyone's national security, right? Gays are far from the only ones demanding this policy is revoked. Literally every single high-up in the Army is against DADT b/c it threatens all American citizens. Third, if you listened to what Ellen said, she isn't at all directing her comments at gays being bullied, but rather using this week's incident as a chance to address bullying in general.

A lot of people get bullied everyday and a lot of people commit suicide everyday not just gay people. This is going to cause a backlash but I have to say it (I am not homophobic nor do I dislike gay people): Our country is going through some really rough times. A recession, unemployment, oil spills, war, etc. Yet, all I seem to hear about on the news is topics in regards to gay rights. Gays in the military, gays getting married, gays getting bullied. Roughly 2% of the population is gay yet the issue of gays in the military takes priority over unemployment. I have no problem with gay people at all but I can't help but get frustrated when I see my country's priorities going down the drain because 2% of the population wants to be able to tell another soldier that they prefer men. PS - Everyone needs to stop bitching and whining and unite to make this country better. There are much more pressing issues out there that effect every single one of us.

@THG, Thank you for addressing such an important topic. By any other name bullying is still a form of mental anguish and abuse.

I love Ellen. :)
