It's truly tragic to see something like this happen, but things are getting better. I'm seeing acceptance increase everyday.
I don't think it's so much of open-mindedness, but of fear.
Although I've changed much now, I used to not accept them before. But once I knew more about them, my fear is gone, and my acceptance as grown exponentially. So people can change.
We've overcome many trials of acceptance over the centuries like racism, and sexism. Over time, we will learn to accept one another.
It can be hard to put yourself into the mindset of someone so depressed and so fearful that they feel their only way out of it is to take their own life. I've been in that darkness before, I've attempted that desperate act, fortunatly I failed to complete it. Now, I do what I can to help those that are in that state of mind, I try to help them see that there will be better days. I'm now married and the mother a wonderful little boy. My son is my whole world, I live each day for him.
I will pray for him and his family. I can't understand how people can be so cruel and close minded. Thank you Ryan for bringing attention to this issue. I used to watch the news and feel bad but afterwards I wouldn't give it much thought. I am so much more aware now. I realize that it's not enough to be accepting and loving but we all have to do what we can to reach out and make a difference.
Im bi and i know how he feels...i came out as bi after i had my 2 daughters so my mother tried to get them taken away from me and my "perverted" lifestyle...It didnt work, but it was a very low point in my life...People like Ryan have given me hope..It mustve been difficult for him to come out in such a devot catholic family..Hes very brave..Thank u Ryan!!
That is so sad to hear... Really parent are suppose to be there for your children... Even if your scared a least tell someone else who you can trust and have that person be there when wanting to confront your parent.. But don't take your life away.. Prayer going out to Teddy... :`(
I don't even know what to say. This is so depressing. I feel so sorry for her, but mostly for her cousin, who felt that suicide was the only way. So sad. It just makes me really angry that people can make other people so afraid that they resort to this.
I will be praying for his family! I also pray for a time when we can just love each other, walls down, for who each of us is... a BEAUTIFUL creation orchestrated my the hand of God...gay, straight, bi...whatever!
love this Ryan its great to know that you can take a moment from your busy day and think of someone who is having a great lost in their family much love to you for that
