Another gay man took his life in despair this week.
I cannot let this keep happening without saying something. These gay suicides have to stop. I am horrified to see so many of my brothers dropping around me, giving up, surrendering to the blank hatred and vicious slander used against us for the entire course of our history.
Our people are stronger than this.
You do not have to give in. You do not have to take your own life. Your support is everywhere around you.
I am horrified. But I am also honored that I live in a day when the world is finally starting to look up, take notice, and say something. It's taken us two millenia of fighting with the churches, the mosques, the establishments and institutions, to make everyone see just who we are--and more importantly, how strong the hatred against us really is. It is disgusting and heartbreaking to me that the Movement is pushing forward in the wake of these unnecessary and innocent deaths. But I thank them for showing the world what's going on, and that it must be stopped.
PAY ATTENTION
We are LOUD. We are PROUD. We are STRONG. Stop the hate.
