"Szubanski said any public perception that things were fine for gay people now was misguided. "There's a kind of velvet oppression going on. Younger people are killing themselves. It's not fine. This is a serious issue."

"Society would be much better advised, she said, to "look at the genetic predisposition for prejudice and intolerance, find a pill that will cure that, [and] put it in the water, problem solved".

If people could take these two points away with them when they read this story, then the world will be a FAR better place to live in!
