I would give you an 'applause' for that but instead I will have to settle for a 'star'
Your name suits you....

So her parents kept her away, physically and technically, from the very society that was shunning her? Sounds like they were doing her a favor and neither her nor her parents saw that.
And neither do you I guess.

I am saddened that this human being could not even be accepted and loved by his/her parents, even if they didn't agree or like his/her natural inclination. But I'm even more saddened by some of the responses I've read so far. Maybe the day will come when we'll all understand why and how a person comes to the point of suicide in our society. Until then... I'm sorry we weren't mature enough as individuals to accept what you already knew to be the truth for you. We still have a lot of growing up to do.

I watched a documentary about this issue and it left me feeling very sad for the young people going through this. There's no easy answer.
There is a very easy answer. They need to be taught that all their emotional pain comes from their own thoughts, not from thoughts or actions of others, or from outside circumstances.
Happiness is a choice. So is suicide. If more people were taught that happiness is their choice, and theirs alone, there would probably be few people killing themselves.

You'd think love and understanding would prevail in a christian household; but it is Ohio.
You have to adore a society that drives people to suicide just because they're icky and weird.
