because these kids have names and they have stories. they’re real people with families and hopes and dreams that were stamped out by hate. may the reason for the color not be forgotten.

Tyler Clementi

He was a 19 year old student at Rutgers University.
After his college roommate tweeted “roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into Molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”, he lived-streamed Tyler having sexual relations with his boyfriend.
Tyler threw himself off a bridge after finding out.

Raymond Chase

He was a 19 year old student at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island.
He hung himself in his dorm room.

“Raymond Chase was a person who liked Harry Potter and Rugrats and was a member of the popular facebook group “I cant spell “bananas” without singing hollaback girl.” (source)

Seth Walsh

Seth Walsh was a thirteen year old middle school student.
He was bullied to the point that he could not bear to live.

“He spent a lot of his life frightened.” It was in person, through the internet, through phonecalls. His peers were relentless. He was perpetually picked on for his mannerisms and his style of dressing, even before he came out as gay.
His mother found him hanging from a tree in their backyard. He spent over a week lingering on life support before he died.

Asher Brown

He was a 13-year-old eighth grader at Hamilton Middle School outside Houston His family says that he was “bullied to death”.

”Asher was tormented for being small. For his religious beliefs. For the way he dressed. And for being gay. His bullies acted out mock gay sex acts in phys ed class.”His parents repeatedly contacted school officials on his bullying. Nothing was ever done.
He shot himself in the head.

Billy Lucas

He was a 15-year-old freshman at Greensburg High School in Indiana.
“Everyone made fun of him.” Like Asher, his school administration knew but did nothing.
A friend says the bullies would call Billy “gay and tell him to go kill himself.” Homophobic hate messages have been left on his facebook memorial page.


and there are more

The death toll for this school year is already at 7.
Seven kids who have lost their lives because of hateful peers.

It’s horrible that it’s taken tragedies like this to finally wake this nation up.

I’m so apathetic towards everything most of the time, 
but this really upsets me, people don’t think, they NEVER thing.
This shouldn’t be happening, parents need to teach their children that hate is not okay.
I mean, these kids, they had their whole fucking lives ahead of them, they would’ve been fucking amazing, and stupid insecure bullies snatched it away from them.

Imogen Heap is tied for my favorite singer/musician. In January she won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. She inspires me to do with my medium what she does with hers.

Tonight, I met her.

Okay, rewind.

I’m sitting on my bed, looking for hostels to stay in while I’m in Italy in…
