"You Are Loved" Candlelight Vigil Signal Boost

In the past two weeks, six young men have committed suicide due to homophobic abuse from their peers. They are:

Asher Brown (age 13)
Seth Walsh (age 13)
Justin Aaberg (age 15)
Billy Lucas (age 15)
Tyler Clementi (age 18)
Raymond Chase (age 19)


Tomorrow night there will be a candlelight vigil in New York City called "You Are Loved" in honor of these young men and all the LGBT teens who kill themselves every year, at a much higher rate than their straight peers.

From [livejournal.com profile] joking, used with her permission. 

A personal note from Teleen: These are your sons, your daughters, sisters, your brothers and your friends.  If you are the sort of human filth that would denigrate someone for who they love, I hope you burn in whatever hell you believe in.
