My gay friend just committed suicide?

One of my friends just committed suicide. He did it because he was gay, and his parents were ashamed of him for being gay. His parents were strict Christians, and he was not. At one point they even made him go to straight camp. That must have made him feel so bad about himself. Why are people so judgmental and bully gay people?

    I don't believe you. I think your intention is attention, and your cause noble, but sorry, doing things like this lessen moments when it actually happens.

    I am so sorry for your lost, I had an ex boyfriend (Well not Facebook official, but we were seeing eachother) that killed himself last year, for the same reasons basically, only he was cold blooded, he never shed a tear, he would just drown his problems with alcohol & sing 5 hell marry's while looking at the mirror.

    It just pisses me off that people can't accept others just for not having everything in common, I'm sorry, nobody is perfect but thats what makes us humans & sometimes I wonder myself if I feel I can just end this pain with just one shot, but I'm better then that, I'll wait for the storm to be over so I can see the rainbow, even if that rainbow is at Mt.Everest, then thas how far I'll have my hopes.

    Most people live by their religion and do not want to harm or hinder their religion. Others don't know so they go for what is taught to them and live by that. Some just understand why.. while the society is pushing for it's wrong as they think. Sorry for your lost of your friends my parents are they same way.. and yes I know how it feels.. I too am suicidal.

    How are you handling your friends death?

    The coming out experience can be really tough, we never know how our parents are going to react. I know he must have been really upset with the whole situation his family and religion.

    Have you seen the movie Prayers For Bobby?

    That's horrible...May he rest in peace! :)

    I really do hope, if there is an afterlife, that he is happy now for I am sure he deserves it.

    People are judgmental, regardless. It's sadly what makes us human.People tend to jump to conclusions and base those things they heard about it, be it a biased source,specially when they don't find it "right" or "weird" to them.

    RIP mister whatever your name was whom you are friends with this person whom posted this question!

    I'm sorry. Be aware that your life continues, and it further that.

    Unfortunately there are people with closed minds, people arrogant, ignorant...

    We must have patience with people like that, because one day they will be spiritually evolved persons.

    The law of God, love never fails.

    Stay with God.

    I'm really sorry to hear that. RIP.

    But, your question has your answer: "His parents were strict Christians"

    Religion and misinformation; people fear what they do not understand.
