"Remember me as an unicorn"

Just heard about the news of Jamie Hubley. He's a 15 year old Canadian boy who committed suicide because of bullying. Jamie Hubley was known to his friends as a happy kid who always smiled and gave hugs to people. However, he was depressed because people bullied him as he was gay.

"I hate being the only open gay guy in my school . . . It fucking sucks, I really want to end it,"

On his blog, he mentioned that being gay in high school was so hard. On Youtube there's an campaign called It Gets Better. It is where people relate their struggles to be accepted by the society about their sexuality. Referring to that, Jamie Hubley said that it was just too hard.

"I dont want to wait 3 more years, this hurts too much. How do you even know It will get better? Its not."

Jamie Hubley wrote a final post on his angst-filled blog to say goodbye to his family and friends before committing suicide. Do you know that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 10 and 24 and disproportionately affects gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth?

"I wish I could be happy, I try, I try, I try . . . I just want to feel special to someone,"

It's really sad why people would want to bully others. And why cant people accept others for who they are? Gay, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, whatever. All these are predetermined before birth. As a Christian, I believe that God made us perfect but sin made us imperfect and that we are born with sin. Scientifically speaking, there are scientists who believe that homosexuals are born that way. They dont have a choice.

Think about it: Who are we to judge and bully others? Are you perfect? Do you not lust? Are you not greedy? Have you not been envious of others?

-digression-

Then there's the case where people always think that Christians are against homosexuality. NO. We are just against sin. Just as there are verses about homosexuality, there are also verses against other sins (eg. Lust).

About same-sex behaviour
Leviticus 18:22 "And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing."

About lust

Matthew 5:29 "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."

I dont know why people focused only on verses about homosexuality (when there so many other verses about other sins) which causes people to think that Christians hate homosexuals. 

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The world. Not only Christians, not only "straight" people. But the entire world. Just to clear the air.

Here's to all the bullies and those who are/were bullied:

"And do you realise the words you say make bruises that wont fade away?"
