It is the media blowing this out of proportion, IMO.
And to be clear, I am not a person of faith. I just recognize its importance to others.
If Reimer was a Muslim does this make the news? Or do we reserve the accusations of bigotry and homophobia for Christians?

But it is not religious, the fact that he participated in military appreciation events (which his religion is much clearer on) shows it has nothing to do with religion.
