This gay 17-year-old high school senior from New Mexico takes his life, after being bullied since he was 8



Because of the homophobia of many churches, social conservatives, and the GOP/Tea Party, young men like Carlos Vigil are bullied relentlessly -- for years -- and often kill themselves to escape this abuse, end their suffering, and escape their harsh self-criticism.

This is the note that Carlos left behind:



















These kids are beautiful children of God -- and they need to know that. Perfect just the way they are.

I will not stop advocating for LGBT rights until this type of bullying ceases.

RIP, Carlos.
