Tyler Clementi. Billy Lucas. Asher Brown. Seth Walsh. They’ve all killed themselves this month due to homophobic bullying and harassment in their places of learning.
How is this okay? This is not okay! This is four young men, children, human beings who ended their own lives because of other’s treatment of them. Fuck knows how many more deaths haven’t got media attention, fuck knows how many kids suffer in silence because their parents wouldn’t want to acknowledge they were gay. this is not okay. how the fuck can you people sit at your computers and pass over this shit without losing your fucking mind? apathy is killing these kids! how can you not be screaming down the phone at your state representatives, at the schools, at the parents? i can’t just sit here. i can’t. but i can’t do everything, i’m thousands of miles across the sea. all i can do is send e-mails and push others to get angry and join futile tribute fb pages out of sheer desperation to help. how the fuck are you reading these stories and going back to your lives? how are you sleeping at night? someone please tell me, because i can’t. these are your children! your friends! classmates! your kid’s future friends, your future workmates, future teachers and doctors and celebrities, artists and lovers and emergency service personnel. and you’d rather talk about glee and lady gaga’s outfits and other gay issues. they’re important but they’re nothing compared to this. this needs to stop! schools should be safe for kids! don’t you understand? these children are tying ropes around their neck and asphyxiating themselves until they die, they’re shooting themselves in the brain, they’re throwing themselves hundreds of feet to their deaths rather than face another day of being beaten up, or called faggot, fag, gay, homo, fruit, of being dehumanised. how can you think you can’t help, how can you not be fucking desperate to change this fucked up culture in any way you possibly can? how can you not hold anyone accountable. how can you call it “sad” and move on? how can you think a ‘reblog if you care’ is enough? it is not fucking enough! do something! i can’t fucking move on from this. i can’treblog this. it literally takes two seconds. now.
