This is from an article, On Loving Queer Kids, by Richard Kim that appeared in the November 2010 issue of The Nation. The boys are long dead, but I feel just as bad for them (and angry at the bullies) as if it happened yesterday:
'...Billy Lucas, a 15-year-old from Indiana who hanged himself after repeatedly being called "a fag" by his classmates...'
'...Asher Brown, a 13-year-old Texan who shot himself after his fellow students performed "mock gay acts" on him during gym class...'
'...13-year-old Seth Walsh from California, who hanged himself from a tree in his backyard after being teased for years for being gay.'
All three boys killed themselves during one two-month period in 2010. :[
