This boy's story touched me. Seth Walsh, 1997-2010. He came out to his family in 6th grade and for the rest of his all-too-short life, he was bullied and harassed by ignorant assholes who chose to see him as a target for their hatred. He hung himself from a tree in his family's yard.
How many more Seth Walshes must die before we finally accept people for who they are? How many more people need to feel ashamed of themselves because of the amazing and unique qualities that make us all different, that make us all human?
Human. What a term.
If you're reading this and you've ever bashed somebody for their sexuality, then get this one thing straight.
YOU ARE NOT HUMAN. You, my friend, are a fucking joke. You are less than scum.
A real human being would never destroy someone's self-confidence with brutal names to the degree that they slit their wrists. A real human being would never punch someone in the face or beat them up after school and then be surprised when those people hang themselves in their closet.
Sexuality isn't something that someone chooses. It's something you just become aware of. You think people are able to choose who they'll be attracted to? You think people are able to choose who they are, or what makes them unique in a world of carbon-copy personalities? Get real. Get a life.
Some of my closest friends are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, you name it, they are it. And I'll be goddamned if I'm going to let them be bashed by ignorant twits with nothing better to do than to hate on other people for being different.
So, again. Get real. Get a life.
And go fuck yourselves.
