Many in the gay community suffer from depression that is foisted upon them by their own sense of worthlessness created by the heterocentrism of American life. Through all of the messaging of the church, the media, and many straight heterocentrist people one meets on a daily basis, one can become fatally depressed. It is a symptom of the kind of world LGBTs are forced to live in day in and day out. I blame this on them.

I’m so sorry to read this story. I didn’t know Mark, but I have known other gay men–young and not so young–weighed down by depression. It’s such a tragedy for a young person to feel he has nowhere to turn when he finds himself at the edge of what he can bear alone. I’m glad Mark made such a good impression on his friends and family. May he live on in their memories, and rest in eternal peace. My condolences to Mark’s friends and family.

My heart goes out to this young man’s family and friends. I know personally oh so well the effects of depression. There is hope though, I just wished this young man had recieved help before doing this to himself. From what the report reads it sounds as if was a very sweet person.

This is so terribly sad. It is so important that folks suffering from depression get early treatment. If friends knew that he was depressed, did they recommend and make sure that he received necessary medical treatment? This is such a waste and a tragedy.
