    He might’ve been a republican, but no one deserves to be bullied to suicide.

    EDIT: After reading the comments I tend to agree with some of the people. The guy was a republican, part of a party spewing constant hate. The journalists just pointed out his hypocrisy (although indirectly and taht wasn’t the main point of their article). I just find it rather tragic that a man decides to spew hate unto others just because he can’t accept himself to do the things he wants, and when he’s confronted with that, under pressure he commits suicide. It’s rather… sad. I’m part of the LGBTQ community and still feel a bit sad about all of this even though the guy probably voted against my people…
