What he wanted to remain hidden in life is not necessarily what he might want hidden in death

Maybe. Maybe not. But it's not the issue right now. He was murdered. That's the issue.

Apparently, on DU, it's not cool to vilify gays directly but we must respect a religion

I, too, did some research. I asked myself, "Do you care if Ambassador Stevens was gay?"

Probably that he was single. I'm a single woman and people assume I'm lesbian all the time.
