When you have that many tattoos if you get skin cancer a doctor would have a very difficult time finding it.

Lady Gaga, you idiot...

"The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating. We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it," Lady Gaga wrote on Twitter.

Th reason we can't bring Mental Health to the forefront is because YOU are showcasing and valorizing Mental Sickness as if it were normal.

Your are mainstreaming Mental Sickness.

You are making it forbidden (a violation of PC) to recognize all of this self-harming behavior, homosexuality, transsexualism and tattoo self-defacement, in the context of psychiatric disorder.

YOU have blood on your hands, YOU and all of your reality-denying, body-degrading, soul-deforming, "Born this Way" propagandists.

What a skanky a-hole. See, this is on display here. The idea of people like her to address this is to NORMALIZE and ACCEPT aberrant behavior instead of TREATING it.

That makes it all okay. This guy was mentally ill, and she CELEBRATED it and TOOK ADVANTAGE of it, and even ENCOURAGED it instead of using her considerable financial resources to lift a finger to get this guy professional help.

To her, he was just an "artist". What a scumbag she is.

I didn’t see your post, but we feel the same way. This guy was sick and needed help. I find her involvement, attitude, and response disgusting.

I laughed...but it’s sad! Very sad that mental illness isn’t dealt with. The bizarre behaviors are encouraged by the godless “progressives”.

Yep.

“We value your decision to change your sex so you can live as your real self. Go live as who you are”
They commit suicide.
“If you see someone is struggling, get them help. Don’t just let them die”

Repeat.....

Yes. It brings to mind this girl:

This was a perfectly attractive and normal person, and this was her explanation:

"The body piercer, from Australia, told Daily Mail Australia: “I have no regrets whatsoever. I’m absolutely in love with my image.”

Amber says she “hated” the way she used to look and thought her blonde locks and flawless skin was “very plain” and “boring”.

She got her first tattoo as a teen as she “craved to know what the feeling was like”, and had three inkings by the time she was 18.

“I developed an addiction at 16 years of age,” she said."

How absolutely devastated her parents must be. And there are people who say "This is all good and normal. It is her life, and her body."

She will end up looking in the mirror one day and will take her life as this guy did. The people who encourage and facilitate this sick behavior are criminals, IMO. The people who have it done to themselves are sick and need help, not encouragement.

Saint Bernardine of Siena was a famous preacher, celebrated for his doctrine and holiness. Regarding homosexuality, he stated:

"No sin in the world grips the soul as the accursed sodomy; this sin has always been detested by all those who live according to God...

"Deviant passion is close to madness; this vice disturbs the intellect, destroys elevation and generosity of soul, brings the mind down from great thoughts to the lowliest, makes the person slothful, irascible, obstinate and obdurate, servile and soft and incapable of anything; furthermore, agitated by an insatiable craving for pleasure, the person follows not reason but frenzy...

"They become blind and, when their thoughts should soar to high and great things, they are broken down and reduced to vile and useless and putrid things, which could never make them happy....

"Just as people participate in the glory of God in different degrees, so also in hell some suffer more than others. He who lived with this vice of sodomy suffers more than another, for this is the greatest sin."
