They were just kids, trying to live their lives, do what they enjoyed, and be who they were. But society wouldn't let them".<br /><br />FG- Be very careful with your choice of words. You are no clinician and are in no position to say whether or not they were suffering from mental illness. To attribute the kids suffering to only the prejudice and intolerance of others is unfair; it's oversimplifying and understating what these kids were going through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928387059735958551.post-35199071287626214202010-10-10T00:27:07.119-04:002010-10-10T00:27:07.119-04:00I commend you for writing this blog, however I am ...I commend you for writing this blog, however I am concerned with the message. I am a frum Jew who is struggling with my sexuality and may other things. You've mentioned being depressed, being trapped, not having a choice. I caution you with using those words. We always have a choice and what we choose has its consequences, but it is always a choice. We need not be victims anymore! We have a choice and what we choose we must live with, but this choice empowers us and frees us of being oppressed. Although it may not feel like we have choices, they are always there. The choice might not be so appealing, but it is there. Please understand that I respect this blog and all it is trying to do for the confused Jews out there, but I spent this past year in rehab and if I can tell you anything that I have gotten out of that is that I DO HAVE A CHOICE!!! and i'm proud of it!!! aren't you???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928387059735958551.post-66473690993164167352010-10-08T09:34:43.537-04:002010-10-08T09:34:43.537-04:00Anon 7:05- I apologize if things came across that ...Anon 7:05- I apologize if things came across that way, I did not mean to imply that all the names were deaths related directly to LGBT bullying.

Talk about gay bashing. I really don't get how you can remain Orthodox. How many gay kids are growing up being taught that God himself thinks that gay sex (at the minimum) is an abomination worthy of the death penalty? You think they're all going to be as strong as you are?<br /><br />People need to hear that the chumash was written by some people thousands of years ago, not that it's the word of God.<br /><br />I'm sorry, I know I'm being harsh, but it's a serious matter, as you know better than I do.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928387059735958551.post-30789907633098410012010-10-07T09:05:40.765-04:002010-10-07T09:05:40.765-04:00Great post!
