That first line irked me. They listed the 5 boys, including Tyler. But, he wasn’t physically or verbally assaulted by Ravi and Wei (as far as we know from news reports so far). I’m not defending no one because I still think what those two did was disgusting, but at the same time I thought that line in the article was a bit unfair =\



It is unfair. Ravi and Wei should be punished for what they did, but how the gay lobby hijacked this event is particularly troubling. Pretty soon, any suicide involving a gay person will be hijacked. If a gay person hangs him or herself over unpaid debts, then the debtors will be cast as homophobic. And so on.

It’s a dangerous precedent.
