gay friend's suicide
My friend David killed himself by poison on November 26, 2007. He was 16 and was gay. He was tormented on a constant basis. Often he was physically assaulted. He was called "homo" "fag" "queer" and all the usual terms our wonderful socierty has invented to describe people like him. His parents tried to have him fixed by having him meet priests, who were probably molesting boys on the side, that told him his feelings were wrong and an abomination. Schoolmates said he was "shoving his sexuality down their throats" even though he never talked about it unless asked, and certainly wasn't humping people in public like many of the straight kids were doing. He was shunned by the rest of his family, who believed he would grow out of it. And for all you geniouses out there, he didn't. Whenever I hear someone (usually a male) being harassed (usually by other males) I feel that person has blood on their hand. People like that killed my friend. And I know many people like that are here. You have blood on your hands. Hate kills. That's all there is to it.

If you get pulled over for speeding whos fault is it?
If you catch your wife cheating on you and you beat the shit out of the guy she was with whos fault is that?
You should be out celebrating the life of your friend insted of spreading the same type of hate you claim killed him.
I am sorry you lost your friend, and I am sorry he suffered so much. I guess the most effective thing to do is to help institutions and laws that help homosexuals, like pushing for hate crime laws and marriage rights. There is an imbalance in the media versus legality and public opinion, the sooner acceptance attained, people will be resentful of people showing gay characteristics.
The cynic in me wonders, however, if he was one of those boys who wore flambouyant pink tight pants and spoke effeminitely. That especially is offensive to some people, and its not based *entirely* on sexuality in that case.
I am so sorry.
And I agree with you 100%
