The Closet Is Healthy For Gays And Other Living Things
by digby
[I]t was not a juvenile prank that killed the unfortunate Mr. Clementi even though it served as the proximate trigger for his lethal actions. If anyone other than Mr. Clementi should be blamed for his suicide, it is those who repeatedly encouraged him to behave in a way that would fill him with such guilt, remorse, and shame.
And the reason he feels remorse, guilt and shame, of course, is because bigots and bullies torture them for being who they are. But that’s the way God intended it, I guess. Stay in the closet where a gay person can feel good about themselves.
The post is called “gay rights killed Clementi” by the way.
