A Quick Tip by Kathryn

Oct 2, 2010

by Kathryn

Tyler Clementi's death is a tragic outcome to the insensitive, self serving invasion of Tyler's privacy by his roommate and young woman who filmed him in intimate moments and broadcast it over the internet. It is an incident which should make all of us look at our culture which has become increasingly callous and disrespectful.

Well said, Kathryn. I agree with you completely. This is a problem that most people prefer to ignore, but it's prevalent and can be deadly.

There is nothing that will ever change this act into anything but a gross invasion of privacy but, perhaps it might not have resulted in his suicide if the world were more accepting of gays and if he had not been forcibly outed by this so called "prank".
