A Facebook friend posted this and I was really moved and wanted to pass it along too. I wrote last week about the death of 11 year old, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover who hung himself after being bullied at school week after week with taunts and threats. Well, it isn’t really true to say I wrote about it. I was at a loss for words. At 11, could he even have known if he was gay? At 11, I had no idea about my sexuality. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as gay at 11. But today’s kids are different. Definitely more vicious than they were then. He was called gay and bullied everyday. On Anderson Cooper, it said that a girl had threatened to kill him because he was gay.  Jeez, what to even write about this? It is too heartbreaking. So, here is the video I saw on Facebook. This kid is amazing. I hope other kids who are struggling with being gay will find it and hang on. Hang on for that light at the end of the tunnel.
