Reblog if you care more about one human life than another?

I keep seeing this blog going around:

"Four teenage boys have commited suicide in 3 weeks due to being bullied because of their sexuality. Reblog if you're more concerned about this than Lindsay Lohan going to rehab."

The fact that these boys were bullied is tragic. The fact that they felt so lost and alone and ashamed that they had no other choice but to take their own lives is a direct result of hate and intolerance and shameful ignorance.

But why pit them against a young starlet who is also suffering in her own way - despite your judgment. Addiction is a disease. In fact, we lost Greg Giraldo, a comic genius, yesterday to addiction and what's the difference? Because Lindsay is still alive it's okay for you to say one life is more important than another? If she died yesterday, which she very well could have, would you be singing the same tune?

Those boys were gay because they had no choice. If you think addicts have a choice in the matter, you're more often than not very wrong. They can choose to get help if they have a loving support system but even then sometimes it just doesn't work.

So how about not judging so much and instead supporting people to love whoever they want to love, and to get help when they know they need help? 

Anything else is inadequate.
