At the CJAT church, we are observing 24 hr of mourning for 18 year old Tyler Clementi, 13 year old Seth Walsh, and 13 year old Asher Brown, all of whom recently committed suicide because of bullying or cyberbullying about their sexual orientation.

Even though each of these boys felt himself to be gay, not BL (as far as we know), we are moved by the plight of anyone who feels compelled to commit suicide because of his sexual orientation, or because he can't live with the exposure of his sexual orientation.

The moving hand of history may soon remove this curse from such beautiful gay boys, and I will rejoice to see the day. But even then, this burden will still rest just as heavily on beautiful minor-attracted boys - whether beautiful in spirit, body or both. But they will not be as easy for the public to mourn - the wikisposures and other gross calumniators of the cyberbullying world will find ways to make them appear monstrous. Very likely they are out there now, quietly doing what the gay boys are doing in a more open way. Mourned only by their puzzled families and friends.

Let us together pray for them all.
