if you are referring to the bullying and suicide thread, then you answered your own question.
it had NOTHING to do with them being gay.
these kids were BULLIED.
everyone has been bullied in their lives. Hell I had a whole string of bullies, and I'm still alive.
they killed themselves, not because they were gay, but because an intimate moment of theirs was secretly videotaped and then spread all over the internet.
how do you think you would feel if an intimate moment you shared with someone was broadcast all over the world.
GAY, STRAIGHT, it doesnt matter... you would feel VIOLATED.
and that just happened to be the final straw the pushed him over the edge.
gay rights activists want to say that only gays feel the pressure of bullying, when in truth it comes in all shapes and forms.
theres the reason you probably only heard negative comments. it had nothing to do with their sexual preference, its because they died at the hands of bullys.
