When Will it Stop?

I suppose that as long as there are humans left breathing on this earth, there will be countless reasons that youth will take their own lives.  Another teen has killed himself over not being able to deal with the bullying he received for being gay.

Corey Jackson of Rochester Hills Michigan died this last Tuesday.  I grieve for him and I grieve for his family.  But I am angry that anyone, anywhere feels that they have the right to bully anyone.  There is no need for this. 

Unfortunately, I am not surprised.  The Department of Justice continually fighting the DADT injunction - which has now been reversed by the courts - and entire States going to battle against Marriage Equality, it's no wonder that our young feel like even the government does not support them.  AND when you have mainstream religious leaders spouting vitriol from the pulpit blaming victims of bullying and not the perpetrators, what else is anyone supposed to think?

It must stop. Even if you do not agree that being gay is ok, you do have the power to stop the hateful rhetoric that is so incredibly prevelent.
