I just watched that video, and it reduced me to incomprehensible sobs. I've been really worried about my little cousin pretty much since he came out this summer and his parents turned it from a "yay for discovering/accepting an important part of your identity!" to a "don't tell anyone or you'll get killed in a hatecrime" moment. I just keep thinking that if it's really that bad in Florida, maybe they should move. I know they've got financial security there, but I'd rather see them struggle a bit with money and maybe not have giant TVs, a brand new car, a pool, I-pads and whatnot and just know that Jesse's safer and can be who he is without shame. I really don't want him to introvert and get suicidal...
And now I'm crying again.
(PS GREs went well)
