Seven Things to Think About During All This Fuss About Gay Kids Committing Suicide

Seven Things to Think About During All This Fuss About Gay Kids Committing Suicide

I channeled various members of my own family and childhood community in creating the piece at the link.  It’s not satire.  It’s simply a reflection, punctuated here and there for effect, of what I’m pretty sure many Americans are thinking and saying among themselves.  In showing the ideas of those who can’t empathize, even with a child who finds life so insufferable that he kills himself, I hope that some people begin to realize that homosexuality and hatred both originate in the same place:  at home.  You can’t stop a gay child from coming into this world, and I hope you’d love him regardless of being gay.  Even if you can’t bring yourself to love, you might at least find the courage to speak out against the absurd rationalizations for making a child feel less than human.  Maybe even to stop the hatred that forces some children to abandon this world. – Alvin
