This story is so sad yet happens pretty often, not just among the GLBT community. I wish everyone, especially parents, would be more tolerant if their child grows up different than what they hoped for/wanted. :(

RIP Leelah Alcorn


If you or someone you care about needs help, there's help out there if you're transgender and/or if you're suicidal.
