Hateful

I stumbled across something that upsets me a lot. This article, and the attached video, explains/shows House Minority Leader John Boehner calling an act to add Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people 'offensive'.
I know there are still people in this world who are homophobic. However, there are still people in this world who are racist, others who still believe women are less than men, and the list goes on forever.
I wake up each morning and put on that uniform to defend the country I love because we don't allow people to be hurt over things like race, religion and sexual preference. There are still places where gay men and women are beaten to death after being immobilized for no reason other than their sexual preference. It's time for us to wake up. I am proud of the United States of America, and will give my life to defend it. However, I think the idea that someone else should unwillingly give their life for their sexual preference is wrong and always will be.
