GAY TEEN COMMITS SUICIDE

I am very sad to report that tragically, another gay teenager has taken his life because of homophobia. 16-year old Brandon Elizares from El Paso, Texas was found dead by his family on June 02, 2012. According to the family, peers have threatened to stab and light Brandon on fire simply because he was homosexual. The mother of this young man says next week, students planned to beat up the teen.

It is such a shame to see another life cut short because of this ignorance! When will people learn? When will people finally stop the hate? The LGBT community is in mourning today after the loss of another bright young man.

R.I.P. Kenneth James Weishuhn

14 year old Kenneth Weishuhn, took his life Saturday, April 14, 2012 because he was bullied for being gay. This is tragic and I am so sorry to hear such a bright, caring boy gave up. You will be dearly missed and you will never be forgotten! When will people learn that your words and actions toward young gay people have a huge effect on them? HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THE POINT IS MADE CLEAR?

Friday, as we remain silent for Day of Silence, please remember this amazing young man!

There comes a time when you break free of the chains and run for the hills of freedom, only to be struck down by a ghostly figure. I miss him so much. I thought I could move on, I thought I was finally going to get better and forge a path ahead, but somehow, life and death has this funny way of knocking us on our ass the moment we try and make a change. I guess his thoughts and our memories are going to haunt me longer. The guilt of his death, the pain in our eyes, the tears on our cheeks and the yearning in my heart will continue on. Guilt and a longing for the past brings the pain and the tears. Death brings the guilt and the longing. Life brings the death. What will happen next? What will it take for the fabrc to unravel and for the glass to shatter? How much more can a person take?

The cycle… The relapse… The memories… They rush back and break what hope flickered in my eyes.

Ryan… What hurts the most is the fact that you are gone and that no amount of tears, pills, breakdowns or blood can bring you back. No matter how many times I punch the wall, no matter how many rocks I throw, no matter how many miles I run or how loud I yell… I can never see your dorky little smile again. All the plans we made together will never come true. It hurts that every day when I am broken down because of the shit life throws at me, I cannot run to you for support. I am so sorry that I was not abe to stop you from killing yourself. Every time I look at myself in the mirror, I feel guilty because I survived my suicide attempts and you did not. I just wish I could have saved you. I am so sorry.
