In reply to Unnatural. There are gay criminals, black criminals, straight criminals, white, yellow, you name it... Should we pay less attention to this guy's suicide because he was black and gay? I think that it doesn't matter. All I see here is a young, very young human being that decided to stop living for a reason. If the reason is because he's gay and because of other's judgement, harassment, looks and/or comments, I thinks it's a shame that he didn't wait a bit longer to find out that after some time, it gets better. This is very important to understand. Hey, you, if you're young, a teenager, a young adult, trust me, this isn't it! There's a lot more to come! And you know what? Somewhen, sooner than you may think, you will see other things, meet other persons and your reality will change. Ask around you, everybody will tell you this! I remember when I was in school, some things were SOOO important!!! And when I think about those things now, I smile and wonder how I could think like that, how and why some things and some people could impress me so much! A lot of people that I thought were so cool back then, when I see them today, some are just "regular" people, nobodies, some even became "losers"! Trust me, it will get better! Just give time some time and you will feel just like I do! "Unnatural", to come back to your post, what you say is correct, some kids still get raped today by homosexual men and that's terrible! Should we only pay attention to gay kids who commit suicide? No, of course not! Should we ignore them and only pay attention to kids raped by homosexuals? No. I think that it doesn't matter if someone is raped by a heterosexual or a homosexual, what's important is that someone was raped and that's WRONG! It really doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, it doesn't matter if the guy that raped someone is gay or straight, NO ONE should ever be raped, by no one! Period! And no, we shouldn't pay only or more attention to a gay victim but to all victims. I think that in this case, there are so many comments because a lot of people are shocked because even in 2010, there are still people, mainly young people that feel so bad about being gay that hey consider or even commit suicide. It's not just about the suicide but everything around that led to that decision. It's not just about that one kid, the 19 years old Raymond Chase, but I think it's about us, some of us still think that being gay is wrong or a disease or an evil "act" or... WTF?! My message is already too long, so I won't start to try to convince homophobic persons that being gay is NOT wrong. Like I just said, my message is already too long, so I'll stop here. I'd just like to add that, in my opinion, in 2010, the human being reached a point where he should be smart enough to understand that being gay is not wrong, just like not being white or not being from your country isn't wrong, either. Fuck, we've managed to put satellites orbiting all around our planet, to build cars, planes and rockets that fly to the Moon and even further into space, we've done so many great things, so how come we still can't reach deep inside our hearts to see that at the end, what's important is to love each other and it doesn't fucking matter if someone else is different. Fucking embrace it instead of rejecting it!
