STOP "BULLY-CIDE" TODAY -- TELL THE KIDS THAT GAY'S O.K.
May 2 2009, 12:02 AM EDT | Post edited: May 8 2009, 6:48 PM EDT
Carl Joseph Walker Hoover and Jaheem Herrera, both eleven years old, hanged themselves in the last two weeks after merciless homophobic taunting by classmates, while school officials did nothing. This is UNACCEPTABLE. We must send an unequivocal message that bullying, fag-tagging, and queer-baiting WILL NOT not be tolerated in our schools, churches, or public institutions - PERIOD. IT'S CHILD ABUSE. "Boys being boys" doesn't cut it. From the pinnacle of the problem in the US Military where these demeaning tactics are employed from the moment recruits step off the bus--to college & high school sports teams & fraternity hazing--to the Boy Scouts who've "snipe-hunted" both gay & straight kids and their straight & gay fathers out of a Congressionally Chartered organization altogether -- to church youth groups who mask hatred and bigotry as the Love of Jesus=-ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Last Sunday, May 26th, the Bully-cide Siblings Alliance held our first BULLY-CIDE VIGIL at Matthew Shepard Memorial Triangle in West Hollywood, CA. On Sunday, May 3rd @ 7:30 PM [and every Sunday evening after that until Memorial Day Weekend] we will hold BULLY-CIDE VIGILS at the same location to honor our gay and straight little brothers and sisters who've taken their own lives in the depths of despair, isolation and hopelessness caused by bullying, fag-tagging and queer-baiting and say NO MORE BULLYING.

Please vote for JTI take this up.
Our little brothers and sisters are counting on us.
Please Don't Let Them Down.
