I can understand why Ellen is upset, we should all be upset about that incident...but its not like being murdured for sexual preference is that widespread. As was posted before, comedy pokes fun at everything, from race, to religion, to sexuality. The incident with the kid is just a really tragic and unfortunate incident though, not a widespread phenomenon. I think people are actually becoming more and more accepting to gay people, so things are getting better for them, not worse.
