NJ student's suicide resonates on campus, beyond - Yahoo! News: "'To this poor kid, it's better to be dead than to have people know he's gay,' said Jean-Marie Navetta, a spokeswoman for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. 'Therein lies the real tragedy here.'
Clementi's death was part of a string of suicides last month involving youngsters who were believed to have been victims of anti-gay bullying. Fifteen-year-old Billy Lucas hanged himself in a barn in Greensburg, Ind. Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in the head in Houston. And 13-year-old Seth Walsh of Tehachapi, Calif., hanged himself from a tree in his backyard."
