Bullying Needs To Stop: Quality, Quantity, and Homosexuals

With what I'm doing, I believe it's important to raise awareness for each and every person that has committed suicide as a result of being bullied. Every life is important, none more than others. But, what I didn't expect is exactly the amount of "bullycides" that I would find. In 2010, it seems that the bullying of gay males was ridiculous, and I've found nine suicides as a result of this in September alone. It sickens me that people behave in such a way to make LGBT teens want to end their lives. It's like someone bullying me because I like guys. I can't help that I feel that way, just like homosexual can't help that they are attracted to people of the same sex. Even if it is something people don't agree with or if they believe it is a sin, they need to keep their mouths closed if they are going to be cruel. Yes, people are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, but cruelty like bullying, is not the way to go about sharing them. With that being said, here are the nine young homosexual males that took their lives in September 2010:

Asher Brown

September 28, 2010
Shot himself with father’s gun.

Seth Walsh
Age 13
September 28, 2010

Billy Lucas

Age 15
Hanged himself after being called ‘fag’ one too many times.

Tyler Clementi
Age 18
December 19, 1991-September 22, 2010
Jumped off a bridge after his roommate secretly recorded him having sexual encounters with another man.
