It’s such a tragedy every time a gay kid commits suicide because of taunting and bullying. Asher Brown, just 13, shot himself to death last Thursday after being relentlessly bullied at his Houston-area school. [Source: Towleroad]

I don’t know if Asher was gay – he was also taunted over his fashion sense and religion – but it’s a sad reminder of how fragile kids can be – and how cruel others can be.

That’s why it is so important to have an organization like The Trevor Project for teens to call for support. It’s a a national 24-hour, toll free confidential suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth.
