Death Of A Gay Teenager

[chasmi]

I came back to this topic a number of times, starting to respond then thinking better of it. But now I don't feel that I can hold back any longer. Shame on many of you!!!
As I read the responses after reading and re-reading the article, it almost seemed as there was a progression of responses that actually made excuses for this young man that ENTRAPPED his roommate. The young man was intimate with another "person" when his roommate was not at home...NOT in front of him. Would these excuses have been made for the young man who planted the video if the roommate had been having sex with a GIRL??? I really don't think so...
Let the law decide as to whether or not it's appropriate and lawful for a 10 year prison sentence. Let God decide as to what their "eternal" sentence will be. I personally pray that the young man who was DRIVEN to suicide is sitting right next to Our Lord at this moment and I pray that Our Lord is saying, "I'm so sorry my son...". He is an "all loving God", lets not forget....

No, because it probably would have been a non-issue. I go to a secular university. I don't know of many sexually active guys who would throw themselves off of a bridge if someone found out that he had intercourse with a girl and that it had been recorded. In fact, I would expect the reaction to be more "high fives and beerbongs" than suicide.

Originally, Mr. Ravi was being charged in federal court. Why the change?

I also don't know if Ravi would have acted differently had the guy been straight. Being sexiled is annoying and it's kind of a Johnsonville brat move to just kick your roommate out for hours from his own room with so little notice.
