That has nothing to do with the whole issue. The question is whether
the gay community should be playing games with the fact that Mr
Hernandez is gay. It really has nothing to do with what he did after all.
Also his being openluy gay still has nothing to do with what he did.
That does not make it homophobic. What is ridiculous is that you are
trying to add to all the stories about him that he is gay when it had
nothing to do with the original story. That makes you a cheap,
a@@-licking fool with no other ideas in your head. You judge everything
on whether it praises gays or not. The world, believe it or not, does
not revolve around someone being gay or not. I know that is a strange
idea to you but think about it and maybe it will eventually sink in that
you really don't matter a damn to most of the world.

Wrong again, Dickie.
Daniel Hernandez is openly gay, and does not hide that fact.
Many gays are proud of being gay, and wear it as a badge of courage,
pride, and honor.
It is nothing to hide or be ashamed of, as your homophobic statement
falsely implies.

And that means what with regard to Hernandez exactly. The problem was
not the reporting, the problem was with the man and his family and their
relationship. Now you want to make a big thing about Hernandez being
gay but what if his family did not know and did not approve. You could
well end up dividing his family and ruining his life. It should be up
to him how to handle his gayness, not you. It is really none of your
damned business about his gayness and how it gets handled. You just
choose to attempt to play off it for your own benefit and that is
disgusting.

The man who saved President Ford's life in that assassination attempt
was also gay. Sadly, he drank himself to death after his homophobic
family in Detroit found out he was gay and dis-owned him.

Did he congratulate him on being gay and actually being a hero or did he
just call him a hero without reference to his being gay. If the latter
then obviously Obama is a homophobe.

President Obama calls gay intern who helped save Giffords' life a hero
by GoPride.com News Staff
Tucson, Ariz. — During a memorial for the Tucson shooting victims on
Wednesday, President Obama singled out the heroes from that day,
including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' gay intern, Daniel Hernandez.
Hernandez had only been working for Giffords for five days when the
shooting started on Saturday.
20-year-old Hernandez was volunteering at the community event and was
standing just feet away from Giffords when Jared Loughner opened fire
on the congresswoman. Hernandez immediately rushed to her side and
tried to comfort her.
"We are grateful to Daniel Hernandez," President Obama said. "Daniel,
I am sorry, you may deny it, but you are a hero, but we have decided
you are a hero. Because you ran through the chaos to minister to your
boss, and helped keep her alive."
Hernandez, who was seated in the front row next to the President,
stood awkwardly as the President showered praise on him. Hernandez
smiled shyly, and then sat back down.
During the memorial for the victims, Obama also recognized the other
heroes from the day, including the woman who grabbed the magazine clip
before Loughner could jam it back into the gun, and the men who
tackled him until police arrived.
"When I heard gunshots, my first instinct was to head towards the
congresswoman to make sure that she was OK," Daniel Hernandez
Hernandez told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
"I had to lift up the congresswoman, because she was severely injured,
and I wanted to make sure that she was able to breathe OK because
there was so much blood," he said. "We had to grab whatever we could.
And because we were outside of a grocery store, the employees from the
grocery store brought out smocks that are used by the meat department
that were clean, so that we may use them as bandages, because that was
really the only clean cloth that we had."
"The congresswoman was alert. She was able to hold my hand when I
asked her if she could hear me," said Hernendez.
Hernandez, a junior at the University of Arizona, is gay and is a
member of the City of Tucson Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and
Transgender Issues. "She's been a great ally to the LGBT community,"
Hernandez said of Giffords during an interview with the Dallas Voice.
Giffords is a member of the House LGBT Equality Caucus and is a strong
supporter of gay rights, including gay marriage.
Six people, including a 9-year-old girl, were killed on Saturday.
