In Memoriam - Carl Walker-Hoover


This just breaks my heart. How many more children must die before school authorities take bullying seriously?

Friends of mine in Florida have worked for YEARS trying to get the state to pass anti-bullying legislation, but it continues to be blocked by religious right legislators. I'm sure LGBT advocates in other states have similar stories to tell.

Anderson Cooper did an excellent job reporting on this tragedy. Now it's time for all adults who care about children to speak up!

I can totally understand why religious right legislators would be against anti-bullying legislation. Jesus is all about bullying people, right? Oh wait, no...
