Republicans boo military

At the Republican debate for presidential hopefuls, a huge wave of BOO's were heard when a gay soldier spoke. As he risks his life for his country and our freedom, they BOO'd him because he wants to be with a male. I hope they will more strongly boo the male multimillionaire who was found guilty yesterday of killing his wife. Is he better because he is heterosexual?
I respect and honor every soldier, regardless of race, gender or religion. I want to hear their words and feelings. I hope one day we will move from a nation divided by hate, to a nation unified for a better tomorrow.
