3. Unfortunately society condones the bullying.....

As long as we have the Mormon Church, Rick "Frothy" Santorum and others vilifying the LGBT community, bullying will continue.

Community and school leaders will feel emboldened to ignore the danger signs and, unfortunately, hope to eliminate "the problem".

This is a tragic end to the life of a young man who had everything to live for. Why do we as a society continue to tolerate this hatred?

If we are looking for starters I suggest we look at the entire GOP. They have done more to institutionalize anti-LGBT views than any other organization.
