I didn’t see any reference to anything “gay”.

Neither did I, yet these threads always are an excuse for some to rant and rave about anti-bullying programs being used to promote homosexuality. Its sad.

This is a story about a 13 year old boy, who appears from that picture to be small, who was teased and perhaps bullied. He was obsessed with trains and had an "encyclopedic" knowledge of them so if anything, he may have been slightly autistic. I can easily imagine a small, autistic boy being bullied.

But putting that aside, the message that people should get out of this story is the human tragedy of a sweet 13 year old being that upset and depressed that he kills himself. Not looking for a political agenda.

Very true.
Our culture has become very vulgar and aggressive.
Sweet souls like this get chewed right up.
