I really hope it does get better. My brother-in law-Colin took his life in 1983. I don't think he was bullied per se as a young adult, but the atmosphere around being gay couldn't have helped (even in Manhattan) as he struggled with other issues. While it was different, I can't help but think of him every time I hear one of these heartbreaking stories.
Luke Burbank said yesterday that in ten years this will seem like a bad dream. He talked about the people in the 60's who would say "I don't have anything against blacks. They just shouldn't be allowed to go to the same restaurants as us."
