    It is very sad to hear about this. :frowning2:

    I really wish that some news article would acknowledge the fact that this happens every day.

    :frowning2: This is so sad. All of these recent suicides are making me realize how lucky I am that I don't live in a homophobic area...

    No...dammit all.

    This is beyond ridiculous. One suicide was ridiculous.

    This is getting so out of hand.

    I am happy that there was an article in my state newspaper promoting acceptance of LBGTQ in schools on the front page. Maybe poor Corey can be the last one...maybe :frowning2:

    I'm so fucking pissed. This shouldn't be happening. It seems like there's nothing we can do to stop it. The world gets a day to honor the recent suicides, and yet another suicide happens. Are you kidding me?!?! I don't want this to keep happening. It shouldn't be. God, I'd do anything to make sure this doesn't happen again, but there's nothing I can do to help. Fuck.

    I think the truth is that gay suicides have been happening at this frequency for years. I think it's good that it's finally getting the media attention it deserves if it finally spurs people to action.

    I think you are right. It isn't new, we're just finally hearing about it, as we should be. Everything that's happened in response will help, but I don't think it will end, and if it is happening, we should be hearing about it. It needs to be in people's face for them to respond. Awful but true. :bang:
