do you give a damn?

i just heard on the SnM show on KENN am 1390 via the listen live link (http://www.kennradio.com/) a psa regarding acceptance for gays and lesbians; i am completely onboard with the psa and disagree with Sean & Mike about whether or not this is helping or hurting the cause.  Sure we all go thru this, we all feel pain and despair and we all have to find it in ourselves to pull ourselves out, and usually we have to do it by ourselves.  nobody knows our thoughts, our innermost feelings and nobody is there for us or so we feel.  suicide is real, whether its because you are gay and not accepted or cant face financial issues anymore, or you are overweight and teased unmercifully; there are many reasons people commit suicide, its not just teens, plenty of adults do it also.  it has nothing to do with being selfish, i cant even believe i heard a caller say that, now thats selfish and arrogant, and makes my blood boil.  how dare someone add that guilt onto an already troubled person?  when you are going thru the hell you are going thru and you reach out for help and get 'quit being so selfish, think of all the people you will hurt' what a crock of bull.  when you reach the point in your life that you are considering suicide, how others feel is the least of the things you care about.  i still cant believe 'judy' called suicide the ultimate act of selfishness that just reaks of bullshit.  so the question on the table is...  is shining the light on the issue helping or hurting these teens?  i guess its how you slant the light...  if you make it look like they need to be treated like they are china dolls and have to be tiptoed around, that is going to hurt them.  if you shine the light on acceptance, whether its for being gay or jewish or black, if you push acceptance, then it will help.  telling gays that they are dysfunctional is wrong, there are plenty of already established pressures for everyone, adding one more stigma may just be the straw that breaks the camels back.
