Before the councillor's gay teen son committed suicide, he wrote “It’s just too hard. I don’t want to wait three more years, this hurts too much,”. Jamie (the son) wrote a full hearted blog before he bid goodbye to the world. The 15 year old teen died on Friday, after pouring his heart out on twitter and Tumblr. The Councillor ( the father ),said that it was bullying that had taken his son's life. He said that his son had tried to start a Rainbow club in his high school to promote inclusiveness. The posters were torn down and he was called vicious names in the hallways and online,” he said. Jamie's blog was titled " You can't break when your already broken". Jamie described himself as no anything special, just depressed. Two weeks ago, Jamie wrote in his blog, "One day, I hope I will actually want to live" he also wrote, how he cut himself, and showed the razor marks on his forearm in black and white.
I think its quite sad, how bullies degrade gay people because the way they are. They should be accepted in the community, and be treated like one of us. Just because some people are gay, that doesn't mean that they should be treated any differently. I happen to have a friend who is also gay, but doesn't like people to know because they treat him weirdly. There shoulld be a law against discriminating gay people, and there should be a punishment also.
