A Price Too High

These are news accounts, obituaries, and the like of gay teens who committed suicide. The ridicule and harassment they faced, the confusion over their sexuality, was too much to bear. The rejection of their most basic 'self-ness' was too much to handle.

I believe it's important to bring these stories to light. Think about it, should anyone (your son, friend, even a complete stranger) be made to feel so bad about who they are that they want to kill themselves? Read these stories and please consider what you can do to make a difference.
