There has been another tragic suicide of a teenager, who was bullied for being gay. Zach Harrington killed himself a week after witnessing a "toxic" city council meeting in Norman, Oklahoma, where "concerned citizens" gathered en masse to hurl their hatred and homophobia, decrying LGBT persons as deviant, sinful, damned, etc. etc. etc.
Here are some links to the story:

Rest in peace, Zach.
