Do you have any opinions about the suicide of the Rutger's student Clementi?

What about the implications of invasion of privacy, whether straight or gay, by someone you know who would put you live on the internet for everyone to see. I cannot believe that two people would conspire to degrade and humiliate someone like this.

    Why isn't anyone talking about the "older gay male" who Clementi had an encounter with. If Clementi was just 1 year younger at 17, this man would be labeled a sexual predator. I don't know why this man is getting a free pass. This boy just started college, and this man is going into his dorm room a couple of times a week? He should be aware that kicking the roommate out of the room a couple times a week would not lead to good things between Clementi and his roommate.

    Well when Paris Hilton had a sex tape seen by millions of people, she could do nothing to stop it. Her ex got away with the invasion of her privacy because she is straight.

    When Clementi had a sex tape seen by just a few persons he committed suicide, and everyone says he is a victim of a felony. Perhaps it should be a felony to make fun of gays.

    What makes Clementi a victim of a felony while Paris Hilton was only laughed at?
