What deeply saddens me is that we lost a child. I don't know anything about this young man 'cept what i read online about his demise. I will not sit here and push the gay issue. What I will push is the issue of a young child who will never see another sunrise or sunset. Find true love's first kiss, hang out and do what young kids do best: Dream. Now there's this young man who because of his personal preferrence his life was taken away. Yet, no one protested because he was gay. Wow. Mind you a friend sent me this online memorial, never told me about the young man nor his situation. I felt sorry for him and his family. Even did prayers. How wrong i was for doing that. When I found out he was gay and that no one protested or stood up for his death as a hate crime, i started praying for us as a people of ignorance and self loathing. We as a people have a long way to grow up and realize we lost an innocent life in that child. This child is already at peace. It's we who let him down.
