Its not enough that people suffer in silence, no less get tortured by the nonacceptance of those around them, especially their own loved ones. To make matters even worse, they are treated unfairly, bullied in school and at work and have built up walls against people because...people hurt more than anything else. A brilliant life was taken away from us -- someone who could have helped the LGBTQ community with heart -- someone with a passion to help others. But she couldnt take the pain anymore. She couldnt absorb the lack of support by her own parents. I wish she could have just realized how unexposed and uneducated (in that aspect) her parents were. I wish she could have seen the situation like an outsider and said, Eh, silly religious people, and then moved on. But sadly, there are more silly religious people all around us. Theyre everywhere, and with that, you need a thick skin to plow through the ignorant and misguided society. And yes, I said she and her -- thats who she was. To echo the words of Leelah, Fix society.
