Some more who gave up their lives for being gay, again we failed to protect them.
On July 9, 2010. Justin Aaberg, 15, of Anoka, Minnesota, who tried unsuccessfully to kill himself in January, but succeeded in June, after constant anti-gay harassment at school. School officials had decided not to intervene in the bullying because they were wary of 'conservative protests.'
On September 30, 2010. Caleb Nolt, 14, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who died yesterday after taking his own life. Schoolmates claim there is a long history of his being bullied for being gay at high school.
On April 9, 2009. Carl Walker-Hoover, 11, of Springfield, Massachusetts, who hung himself after repeated gay taunting.
On March 29, 2007. Eric Mohat, 17, of Mentor, Ohio, who was involved in theater and music, and was called "gay," "fag," "queer" and "homo" often in front of his class and teachers in class. When one bully said publicly in class, "Why don't you go home and shoot yourself, no one will miss you" - - he did.
If this is not stopped, more teenagers will die needlessly from these criminals.
