eleven years old and this kid in dekalb county hangs himself in his closet, only ten days after another eleven year old in massachussetts did the same thing--- both because of bullying and homophobia---- this makes me very angry

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570

just watched the movie "Doubt" with a UU congregation, which seemed to speak not only of the evils of the ancient Church systems, but also portrayed the miseries of gay kids and the challenges of those whose compassion compels them to take the risks to help...
maybe also evoking compassion for the bullies, whose souls are so sick they can't even feel pain...
