Fearless Friday

Fearless Friday explores gender. (Icon via garwlbanan)

Unfortunately, the -less is missing from today's post. Because young gay men seem to be committing suicide these days in response to bullying.

On September 9, Billy Lucas of Greensburg, Indiana, hung himself after other students bullied him, called him gay and telling him to kill himself.

The Geography Club, by Brent Hartinger (it has a sequel, as well, which is also quite good)
the realm of possibility, by David Levithan (a verse novel)

Ah yes--and I own a copy of The Geography Club, too. Thanks for both of these suggestions!

Thanks--great site. Don't know how I've not heard one peep about it.

Did you hear about the assistant attorney general who is basically cyberbullying a 21-year-old Michigan student? I couldn't believe someone in a position of power would do this, after all the recent suicides!

Yes I did hear about that--and it took so long for him to be put on administrative leave, too. What was up with that?!
