Eric Alva, the very first Marine to be seriously injured in Iraq by losing his leg, was booed off the stage just because he was gay.
[quote]“Well I just left city council chambers and I feel like crying," he wrote. "I have never seen a city so divided and hateful towards each other. All of mankind should be ashamed. I already spoke and even some of the religious groups even booed me as I spoke. Such disrespect as they preach the word of God."[/quote] This comes directly from the article.
Opinions on this?
