Just in the news the other day
I was actually browsing yahoo.com's homepage and noticed a story that caught my eye. It was about a student at Rutgers University. Two guys were roommates. One asked to use the room for a certain time span and I guess his roommate became suspicious for some reason so he set up a webcam without the roommate knowing. The next time the roommate asked to use the room the roommate left and went to a friends dorm. He asked to use her computer and went to his webcam. On it was his roommate and another male having sexual relations. He than posted it! He also made comments on twitter about his roommate and the reasoning behind him using the website which is absolutely ridiculous. Yes his roommate was gay and because of what he did his gay roommate jumped off the George Washington bridge killing himself. As I was reading this article I was honestly disgusted that a person would do this. Make that big of an issue. I'm sure he never thought that he may kill himself but still he did it to get some type of reaction out of the students, or whoever could see the video! The roommate and the girl whose room he went to to pull up the video are now facing up to 5 years in jail. So I did some more digging and found a facebook page titled "Molly is innocent" so I clicked on it because I wanted to see what people were saying about the girl whose computer was used to put the video out there and there was a lady commenting on peoples comments saying things such as "gays should just come out" and how the kid who killed himself was a "coward!" So I posted a status on my facebook stating what happened and how it shouldn't matter who you are attracted to, but I can tell that it does in many places. Ive seen people say mean things to homosexuals and it hurts to see people act that way towards others but this was so heinous it made me sick. I was glad to see students on campus gather and all lay down and say "were here were queer and were not leaving." The kid should have never died. He should still be living him college days out, people don't think how their actions could/can effect others and they really need to start. I wanted to post this because I believe everyone should know about this story and learn from it.
