wow...what empathy, what sympathy..

You obviously have no capacity to understand that it wasn’t just ‘consensual sexual activity’...which would be enough for most young college kids to be emabarrassed about on the internet...this young man was gay, and was “outed” when not even his parents knew.

Sane and rational people often in extreme cases respond dramatically.

BS. Absolute and total BS.

Sorry, but this kid did not remotely act rationally or sanely, if this “event” was the only thing related to his suicide... Which I honestly highly doubt.

It is a tragedy that this talented young man decided to take his own life. No doubt about it, but if the entire reason for him deciding to do so was simply because he got “outed”, then he was not acting sanely or rationally. I suspect there is far more to this story than will ever be told, because the narrative is just too good for certain people for it to ever be anything but a simple cause and effect story that the press and others are selling.

But facts don’t matter, because, the story being told as is, tells a narrative that is beneficial for certain political groups. It can tug at folks emotions without any regard to reason or rationality... As it is story upon story tying this young mans suicide with gay teen troubles in the broader sense, when, at least to date, nothing has come out saying this young man decided to kill himself purely and simply over this incident. However, like I said, facts don’t matter.
