Also, this dude is a jerk. But we already knew that. Fiddy, on Twitter, "urged gay men to commit suicide." 50 Cent's anti-gay Twitter rant. Two young women, dating each other, killed themselves. The details are murky. Dan Savage tells the young how it will get better and how it did for him and his partner. Mind you, that is with the help of affluence and mainstream acceptance. But I applaud the effort. If it leads to one less suicide or a little bit less heart heaviness, then his viral video campaign will have been worth it. Vigils are planned in major cities (probably where they will serve the least). Montreal's is this Wednesday, Oct 6, 8 pm at Parc de l'Espoir near Beaudry Metro on Ste-Catherine's. (Gay blog source)

The suicides need to stop. An organizer from P10, a youth organization based here in the city, mentioned on FB that this entire discourse on bullying leading to suicide is a way to move the conversation around and away from the fact that this violence is very explicitly targeted at people moving beyond socially prescribed gender norms. Contact P10 here. They help the youth folk. Here's a message from Sarah Silverman.
