INCREDIBLY SADDENED right now

[blamethewizard]

Okay, I am doing a drive-by post because I heard this on the radio on the way to work this morning and it made me so, so sad. 

Suicide of a Rutgers University freshman linked to an online broadcast of his sexual encounter with another man

IDEK WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NO WORDS. 

Way to go, alma mater, way to go.

Sadly, people abuse and treat each other terribly for their own amusement far too often.

Having grown up with a lot of friends who have two moms or dads, and being from a non-traditional family myself, I know that some people just don't understand what is "different". I think one of the reactions can be to make a joke out of it.

what i could never understand was why there was so much hate and intolerance within the group of gay&lesbians too.
dykes saying the more feminine lesbians can not be real lesbians.
macho gays bashing gays that behave like those stereotypical tv&movie gays.
pretty much everyone hating transgenders either because now they are the enemy (hetero) or because they are not real a man/woman and therefore can not be real lesbians/gays...

it's just sick!
