After the many recent suicides of teenagers apart of the LGBT community, I feel it is necessary that people watch this video. A councilman in Fort Worth Texas, Joel Burns, told his story at a city council meeting. Growing up as a gay male, he says he had always picked on by his classmates and others around him. But he says that looking back on his life now, he wishes he could take himself as a teenager, and show him all the wonderful things that he was going to experience over the course of his life. Because in his eyes, he feels he is lucky. Lucky that he didnt end up another statistic, as another person dead as a result of malicious feelings and hate crimes. These recent events further prove the importantness of putting an end to bullying, and singling out of those who may come off as being different. People really just need to find a little bit more love in their hearts, instead of more hate.
