Will it ever end?

I just read yet another article on CNN about young gay men being raped or murdered just for being gay.

Stories such as this bring out such conflicting emotions, from sadness, to anger, frustration. Will actions such as this ever end.

The most recent article I read was about a young Iraqi who was kidnapped and raped for being gay. I'm glad CNN is bringing this to the surface, but how can we in America point our fingers at anyone when this sort of thing goes on in our own house. Anyone remember Mathew Sheppard?

While hatred needs to be healed all around the world, we in the US must clean up our own house first.
