Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14-year-old gay teen from the Buffalo, NY area, killed himself last weekend after what his parents say was years of bullying, WIVB reports:

Soon after coming home from a family camping trip, Jamey was found dead Sunday. His parents say he was always under pressure because of struggles with his sexuality. Jamey's mother Tracy Rodemeyer said, "So he hung around with the girls a lot, so then the teasing started happening like 'Oh you're such a girl or you're gay or whatever and that bothered him for many years."

Jamey's father Tim Rodemeyer said, "To the kids who are bullying they have to realize that words are very powerful and what you think is just fun and games isn't to some people, and you are destroying a lot of lives."

Buffalo News adds:

On Saturday night, he posted a lyric from Lady Gaga's song "The Queen" on his Facebook page: "Don't forget me when I come crying to heaven's door."

Then around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Jamey posted two final messages to his main public Tumblr blog. One said he really wanted to see his great-grandmother, who had recently died, and one offered thanks to Lady Gaga.

That was his last entry.
Jamey was very active online, with a Tumblr blog, and YouTube account. He "routinely blogged about school bullying and thoughts of suicide in between upbeat posts about his pop star idol Lady Gaga" and posted to his followers about National Suicide Prevention Week, the paper adds.

Jamey was a 14-year old boy from Buffalo, NY who ended his life tragically because of gay bullying. I didn't know him personally but the love online is strong and true, he was a beautiful soul and has touched many lives. I dedicate this to Jamey and all those who knew him, I am so sorry.

Jamey was a huge Lady Gaga fan and it was his dream to have her follow him on twitter. If you can share this link so Gaga sees this it would be greatly appreciated! If you are wondering about the audio recording - That is Jamey. I got it from his Youtube channel and it was one of his video's to Lady Gaga.

And to those who are being bullied or know of bullying happening to someone or suspect someone who may be contemplating ending their lives please do not hesitate to tell an adult or parent. Don't make the mistake of staying silent, you could be saving your own life or someone else's.

So sad... and people ask my why I am so anti religion??? THIS IS WHY YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!

[rictusgate]

Yet another murder - this time both physically and mentally to lay at the feet of theism to take responsibility for their bigoted hatred of humanity.

[thereforeithought]

Yet another bad consequence of religion. The insecure, the weak, the cowardly, the stupid and the vengeful use the bible and christianity to legitimize their hatred. Sorry to point this out, but it happens all the time.

@Devchelle2, what can we all do to stop this from happening? I am a straight man and I stand up for LGBT rights whenever the topic comes up. What more can we do? Waiting for the world to change is too tedious.  RIP Jamey.

This brought a tear to my eye

[alazaion]

people instead bitching and moaning and pointing fingers why not try to educate each other, be str8 gay old o young or what religion u belong (which frankly is the major couse of disharmony in the world today) that these are kids and they need to be loved and protected and taught how to deal with the assholes of the world,not condem but of who or what they are.

[alazaion]

its so heartbreaking when i hear news like this....it amazing that in this time and age people are still narrow minded its hard enough being a teenager much less gay as well......rip jamey at least no one can harm you and ur with the angels now.

@macksfischer Blaming them is justified however, given I agree that people shouldn't care but you're talking teenagers, social pressure makes them do many stupid things, including ending their lives. If there wasn't such a large anti-gay movement from the "loving" Christian right the number of these deaths would drop significantly.

[felinoid]

Something a lot of people may not realize is that once religious figures get involved the "bullying" can be scary. People can receive cryptic death threats that make it seem they are all alone and it's just a matter of time before they are kidnapped tormented and murdered leaving them to think they are already marked for death anyway.

[Ersa1a]

Vile fucking filthy religions. Especially the Abrahamic ones - what I like to call the sand religions. Hatred, slavery, racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, distrust, intolerance and lies. And every last follower are either just plain evil or just plain retarded, including the ones that I love. Your god's an evil fucktard, and he doesn't exist. Think about that a minute. You worship an IMAGINARY EVIL being and condemn others for being different.

[theeyeisblind]

this is SO going on my facebook. most of my friends list are religitards, this oughta cause a bit of a ruckus.

[devchelle2]

@macksfischer No, but a christian told him he was disgusting and vile in the eyes of the most powerful force in the universe and would burn in hell for eternity. Dont be a jack ass and think about the effect that has on a person when they have heard it enough
