In light of recent events of 5 teen suicides prompted by anti-gay bullying all over the US, I wanted to start this thread to post information about The Trevor Project as well as post the latest PSA that has our own dear Annie Hathaway in it as well as several other celebrities. Anti-gay bullying has been at the root of these recent suicides, one happened right here in Houston where I live and the young man who this happened to went to a middle school fairly close to me. My heart goes out to his parents & I am voicing my complaints to the school officials that evidently ignored the bullying. That makes me sick to my stomach to think that those in charge did NOTHING to stop any of it.
Please help & pass the word about The Trevor Project.
