If you thought that gays are the only one being bullied, you are totally wrong. But I wonder if I will see Lady Gaga defending this girl for speaking her mind. Hypocrisy as its best.

The news reports every incidence of gays being bullied (because bullying is absolutely wrong and intolerable). But you don't often hear about gays doing the bullying. Not because it doesn't happen- but because it's inconvenient to report it.
Still every now and again word leaks out about the intolerable bullying waged by gays against non-gays.
A 14-year-old girl in America received death threats and abuse after taking a stand for the traditional definition of marriage. Sarah appeared before the state of Maryland’s legislature last month where she urged lawmakers not to redefine marriage. She urged a committee to give her “the best birthday present ever,” by “vot[ing] no on gay marriage.” But after the youngster’s testimony appeared online she was subjected to vulgar attacks, threats of violence and even death wishes. One of the comments against her said, “I hate people like this. Most (not all) Americans are [expletive] retards. If I ever see this girl, I will kill her. That’s a promise.”
Bullying is wrong no matter who does it. And it's just as despicable if the target is straight or gay. Sarah is just as entitled to her views as the gay activists are. This is still America, in spite of efforts to muzzle every voice which protests against moral decline and political correctness.
Other documented responses included: “I’m gonna kill ‘er!” “Her parents should be exterminated.” “The [sic] is why abortion must stay legal—to prevent little bigots like this from being Born…” “Kill this child and his [sic] parent, for my 11 birthday would be a wonderful gift, thanks.” “Parents like hers should be sterilized…”
Ellen Degeneres didn't protest this hate speech did she... No one has offered to pay Sarah's college tuition have they? Our society is curved in on itself, curved in on depravity and to such a degree that only depravity is feted.
When gays are bullied all decent people cry out in opposition- because that's what decent people do. When people like Sarah are attacked the gay community sits on the sidelines- doubtless hoping the curses come true and certainly not speaking out in her defense. So who really cares about others? Those who speak out against cruelty or those who only speak out when it suits them?
