Nothing kills a thread faster than having a post's closing word be 'deathbed'.
More about Rodemeyer. Did his parents know he was being tormented about being gay? Did they support their son as he navigated his nascent sexual identity?
I am thinking of a friend who's parents were very, very angry that she was gay by age 14. It was not a good scene.
I don't know much about the his life, but I feel very sad that he felt so alone at the end.
I don't know about other places in the world, but homophobia is very alive in the States.
