There are sensitive parts of the issue which people don’t understand, which is how big a problem homophobia is for young people in our country. […] I was talking to my boyfriend at dinner and if I was with her [Julia Gillard] I would get him to tell the story that broke my heart about when he was twelve and he was getting bullied on school camp at the beach and he just ran into the ocean and tried to drown himself. Or I would tell her about… you know, I used to do stand up about bullying in school, about being called “dancing fag” or “fairy boy” and I didn’t mention in stand up the time when when three guys came up to me at a party and just kicked me in the head while yelling “Faggot, you know where you stand!” […] This is actually not a controversial issue; 63% of people want to see this, 74% of labor voters want to see this. At the moment in this country, if you are gay you’re much more likely to experience self-harm, depression, homelessness, eating disorders, drug abuse— you’re 5 - 14% more likely to commit suicide and the biggest contributing factor to that is homophobia. And the marriage act, as it stands, empowers homophobia. And that needs to change, I think.

But after the shooting, a source inside the police department told ABC News that a narcotics detective and not a homicide detective first approached Zimmerman. The detective pepppered Zimmerman with questions, the source said, rather than allow Zimmerman to tell his story. Questions can lead a witness, the source said.
Another officer corrected a witness after she told him that she heard the teen cry for help. The officer told the witness, a long-time teacher, it was Zimmerman who cried for help, said the witness. ABC News has spoken to the teacher and she confirmed that the officer corrected her when she said she heard the teenager shout for help.

There are people who were gay and lived the gay lifestyle and aren’t anymore. I don’t know if that’s the similar situation or that’s the case for anyone that’s black. It’s a behavioral issue as opposed to a color of the skin issue, and that’s the diff for serving in the military.
