I won't make a habit of quoting HuffPo, but now that I'm back at home/catching up with news: I saw this and thought (yet again) Anderson Cooper is awesome. I might watch daytime TV if he was a host (urrr...actually, no I wouldn't). This is a cause worthy of Mah Boo Anderson, veritable gay icon. Appropriate message as of late, since Dan Savage started the "It gets better" campaign a few weeks ago, spurred by the suicides of seven bullied teenagers this summer:
"In the last two weeks, we've learned of five more teenagers who were being bullied and took their own lives: Cody Barker, age seventeen, of Shiocton, Wisconsin; Asher Brown, age thirteen, of Houston, Texas; Seth Walsh, age thirteen, of Tehachapi, California; Tyler Clementi, age eighteen, the Rutgers University student who jumped off the George Washington Bridge; and Raymond Chase, age nineteen, a student in Providence, Rhode Island. Their deaths come after the suicides of Justin Aaberg, age fifteen, of Anoka, Minnesota, and Billy Lucas, age fifteen, of Greensburg, Indiana."
