@Fabiola why did you put angry face at the end???

WOW, GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.That is so sad that he killed himself over humiliation. If i was gay and my so called “FRIEND” did that to me i would have dealt with it, and to the jerks who did this shame on u guys

that is so sad and so mean for his so called FRIENDS to do that

@anonymous- I certainly am not that naive about the porn industry. My point was that the previous poster seemed to be fixated on that aspect when this case truly does not have anything to do with gay porn and the luring in of innocent straight guys. It has to do with a crime committed that resulted in a terrible tragedy.
As a lesbian I grieve at the losses that have struck our community in the past few weeks. @nameless said Tyler was being dramatic and no one had to know about his closeted life. How about if we imagine a world where it’s OK to be gay and no one has to be closeted or fearful or worry about getting beat up for who they are. There would have never been a tape if Tyler was straight- plain and simple.

I’m slightly shocked at the stupidity of Nameless and Jean. First of all there are PLENTY of straight men who do gay acts for money, its a huge porn industry called gay for pay, do a little reading.
Second of all its real easy to say that this kid was being overly dramatic when your life has not been turned inside out and released permanently on the internet. I have a number of friends who came out of the closet and its an incredibly emotional, personal, private and difficult thing to do, it should ALWAYS and ONLY be done when that individual is ready to do so. Too bad your first fumbling embarrassing sex act wasnt caught on tape so we could all watch you and laugh every time we google your name. If you think this is a natural part of college you are as sick as the ones who filmed him. You have no idea how his family would have reacted to this so to say he was dramatic is so insensitve. Once its on the internet its there forever, the rest of his life he would come across people and wonder had they seen it, or be confronted about the video. It doesnt just fade away. Not to mention college is hard enough with the pressures of self discovery and the evolution of who are you becoming, add to that something this traumatic, humiliating and wide spread and how dare you belittle his experience. Of course I’m not saying he should have killed himself, its an absolute tragedy that he felt he had no other way out, i can completely understand the desperation and loss, I think the problem is there are not enough outlets for people feeling this kind of pain to use to overcome the shock of it. These little bastards who filmed him and released it should be charged with ALOT more than invasion of privacy, There should be felony charges so that they can have this haunt them forever, like that video will haunt this kid’s family. They should be expelled from school completely and have their own lives turned upside down so we can all point and laugh at their misfortune and pain like they wanted to do to this kid. This is just another form of bullying which is out of control in this country and clearly requires harsher penalities for those involved so we can stop having our weaker children take their own lives from the torture of it. my heart goes out to this kid’s family, to all the kids in school being abused by their peers every day who feel they have nowhere to turn and no way out and to everyone who has been humiliated by the freedom of the internet. Ignorant souless pigs are constantly invading people’s privacy with the web and they should be severly punished to discourage this type of bullshit in the future.

@Francisco- yea right. Do you really know of any straight young guys who would do gay acts for money? Once again, it’s the evil homosexuals using their agenda to reel in the young and vulnerable. Straight guys beat up and kill gay guys- they don’t blow them for money.
