9-Year-Old Boy Dies By Suicide After He Was Bullied For Being Gay

This is what the Mom’s of Liberty, Libs of TikTok, fundamentalist Christian republican groups pushing don’t say gay bills along with anti-trans bills, right wing media that call anyone supportive of the LGBTQIA kids groomers, and those groups constantly claiming falsely that drag queen story hours sexualize kids all want. More gay kids gone, tormented either into hiding or removing themselves from society. This is what happens when you take away the rainbow stick safe rooms for LGBTQIA kids. This is what happens when you take away anti-bullying programs and prevent teachers from stopping the harassment of gay / trans kids because they can not tell the bullies that they are wrong because if they sound like they are supporting the LGBTQIA then they could be punished or fired. This is the result of pushing for a regressive hard return to the ideas of the past, such as the society of the 1950s. We outgrew this bullshit once, now we must fight it all again. If you go to YouTube to play the video on the right-hand side will be a seemingly never ending list of gay kids bullied into suicide. I did not want to post them all, it was hard enough to watch a few. Kids dying because some adults are back to pushing hate and intolerance for their god and political reasons, at the cost of kids lives. These people don’t want to accept that non-straight non-cis people exist, so they want them gone, removed. The religious claim that god doesn’t like them or make them. The bigots just claim they shouldn’t be, so make them go away.

Thankfully enough people are starting to push back that the tide of hateful regression and change is slowing. But the right is desperately pushing more legislation, hoping to cement their feelings of hate and disgust at those different from them into law before lowing the power to do so. They are understanding they are not popular, they are a minority. But they are a very dangerous minority in charge in a lot of places. For the sake of the children they must be stopped. There is nothing wrong or shameful in being gay, being trans, or any other member of the LGBTQIA. Being born straight and cis is not the only normal way to be. Being born LGBTQIA is not some medical mistake or disease needing to be hidden or cured. It also is normal. It is documented in almost all animal species in nature.

I was feeling so rested, awake, and ready to go this morning. I was charging through stuff. Until I hit this in my few saved videos on the video computer. It had not lost its open tabs, I caught the problem first. A few of the videos on this subject and I am tired, worn, old, and just want to go back to bed. The people behind the hate put me back to my childhood with all its pain and fears. What happened to the modern age that the majority let the minority haters / bigots / racists get control of so many levelers of power to hurt those who are not like them?

Any way, find your safe space before watching the short video and maybe a few more of them, of kids from 9 to adults ending their own lives because the people around them won’t let them be who they are or are forcing them to change, or just demanding they die because their parents tell them god hates those who are different. Because they are hurting too much and too scared to live. Saddest hugs. Scottie

Jamel Myles’ mother, Leia Pierce, didn’t learn the bullying he endured was getting worse until after his death. He told his sister students at the school were telling him to “kill himself.”
