I dunno. A lot of closeted right-wing guys have big time self-loathing issues. It's kind of wrenching when they spill them out to you and makes it very difficult to not feel empathy for them regardless of any political horseshit. This kid was apparently openly gay though.
Yeah I don't really read this as a political story as much as I read it as a story about another young person committing suicide for reasons unknown or not fully explored.
Doesn't it seem strange that a conservative kid who is confident enough in his sexuality and political stances to be an openly gay conservative who attends protests, would suddenly be suicidal over negative feedback from the protest?
I mean, I know that people can put up a front and seem way more confident than they really are, but it just seems like there had to have been a lot of other issues pushing him towards suicide other than the political aspect. Maybe the negative blowback was the last straw for an already deeply troubled kid or something.
Global warming, nac, global fucking warming!
How dare you.
Also, I just realized that my post that both of you guys quoted has multiple sentences that were posted twice. Not sure how that happened, but I went and edited it for clarity.
