JOSEPH’S STORY
Sixteen years old and bullied for being gay.
If this doesn’t make you cry then you have no heart — and Joseph is a braver, stronger, better human being by far than every single one of the people who bullied him to the point of suicide.

I seen this on another blog. It tore my heart out!!! He seems like such a down to earth young man. And pretty damn easy on the eyes if you ask me

I have vowed that if I ever can get an entertainment company up and running, part of its purpose is to make sure that kids like Joseph hear the message that suicide really isn’t the answer. I’ve swallowed sleeping pills myself at 19, didn’t work and I would have missed out on some really great moments in life….and hopefully more great moments to come!

So many people are jackals who prey on the weak.

@ Gregorio….I do not know you, but i am happy that the pills did not work. I have tried the same. There really are a lot of great moments and memories to be made in life and some very wonderful people to meet. I have been fortunate enough to have lived in 3 different states and have met some very wonderful people and still claim some as very close friends and will always remember the others and the memories we made.
Just keep good thoughts and help those in need and accept help humbly when you need it and be the best person you can be.

I would like to see a foundation created, one that receives donations from GLBT and their allies to have kids like this one be able to take a trip, with a parent or whatever, to San Francisco or Seattle, to see what a healthy and integrated Gay community looks like. A guided tour of shops, museums, events, speaking engagements etc, to engage with other youth and community leaders to build a network for troubled and at risk members of our community.

Gays are like murderers. And who do you think teaches kids such things?

Thank you Scott. That was truly moving.
