President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton each released video
messages this week on the problem of bullying. Both messages centered on abusive
behavior toward homosexuals.
BARACK OBAMA: "Like all of you, I was shocked and saddened by the deaths of
several young people who were bullied and taunted for being gay, and who
ultimately took their own lives. As a parent of two daughters, it breaks my
heart. It’s something that just shouldn’t happen in this country. We’ve got to
dispel the myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage -- that it's some
inevitable part of growing up. It's not."
President Obama speaks in support of the It Gets Better Project
One recent victim was an eighteen-year old student at Rutgers University in New
Jersey. Tyler Clementi was a first-year student and a promising musician. In
late September he jumped to his death from a bridge over the Hudson River
between New Jersey and New York. Three days earlier, his roommate had secretly
used a webcam to broadcast live images of him in a sexual encounter with another
man.
Law enforcement officials have charged the roommate and another student with
invasion of privacy.
Last month, writer Dan Savage started the It Gets Better Project. The purpose is
to help LGBT -- lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender -- young people.
President Obama recorded his message to show support for that project.

student Tyler Clementi, who killed himself
BARACK OBAMA: "I don't know what it's like to be picked on for being gay. But I
do know what it’s like to grow up feeling that sometimes you don’t belong. It’s
tough. And for a lot of kids, the sense of being alone or apart -- I know can
ju
st wear on you. And when you’re teased or bullied, it can seem like somehow
you brought it on yourself -- for being different, or for not fitting in with
everybody else. But what I want to say is this. You are not alone."
Secretary Clinton released her message earlier in the week.
HILLARY CLINTON: "Like millions of Americans, I was terribly saddened to learn
of the recent suicides of several teenagers across our country after being
bullied because they were gay or because people thought they were gay. Children
are particularly vulnerable to the hurt caused by discrimination and prejudice
and we have lost many young people over the years to suicide. These most recent
deaths are a reminder that all Americans have to work harder to overcome bigotry
and hatred."
Hillary Clinton's video message
She said opportunities will only increase:
HILLARY CLINTON: "Just think of the progress made by women just during my
lifetime by women, or ethnic, racial and religious minorities over the course of
our history — and by gays and lesbians, many of whom are now free to live their
lives openly and proudly."
The videos come as the government and the courts try to settle the future of the
military policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Under federal law, gays and
lesbians can serve, but not openly. No one may ask about a person's sexual
orientation. But service members can be discharged if they are found to be
homosexual.
Congress and President Bill Clinton approved the law in nineteen ninety-three as
a compromise. Now a federal judge in California has ruled it unconstitutional.
Last week she ordered a halt to all dismissals of gay service members. But on
Wednesday an appeals court let the administration temporarily continue the
policy.
President Obama says he wants to end the policy, but he wants Congress and not
the courts to do it.
In July, the Defense Department e-mailed a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" opinion
survey to four hundred thousand service members. Defense Secretary Robert Gates
expects the results by December first.
