Jamey Rodemeyer’s Bullies Cheer ‘We’re Glad You’re Dead’ At Homecoming

<snip>

The parents of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer, who was found dead at their home on Sept. 18, indicated in an exclusive interview with TODAY’s Ann Curry on Tuesday that their daughter endured further taunts at a school function immediately after Jamey’s wake. At a homecoming dance she attended shortly after her brother’s death, a potentially poignant moment turned ugly after a song by Lady Gaga, Jamey’s favorite artist, who recently dedicated a song at a concert in his memory.

“She was having a great time, and all of a sudden a Lady Gaga song came on, and they all started chanting for Jamey, all of his friends,’’ Jamey’s mother, Tracy, told Curry. “Then the bullies that put him into this situation started chanting, ‘You’re better off dead!’ and ‘We’re glad you’re dead!’ and things like that.

“My daughter came home all upset. It was supposed to be a time for her to grieve and have fun with her friends, and it turned into bullying even after he’s gone.’’

“I can’t grasp it in my mind,’’ said Tim Rodemeyer, Jamey’s father. “ I don’t know why anyone would do that. They have no heart, that’s basically what it comes down to.’’

1. True Christians surely would, as well as any other HUMAN beling...
with even a modicum of compassion.

2. This is the young generation on whose enlightened views we're supposed to stake LGBT liberation?
I'm not going to wait for these young douchebags to grow up and vote for my equality. I'm going to fight against them and their older counterparts in the here and now.

7. They ... cheered his death?

There are no words. It's difficult to think of whoever would do such a thing as human, even if they are children.

8. Just like Republicans screamed
Let Him Die, at the Republican debates. These people have no soul at all. They are apart of a new nation wide death cult, that will dance on people's graves, and be bold enough to show how sick they really are. May a cold wind gather them up like dry leaves, and carry them to the ends of the earth as dust.

10. Well...
That's pretty tasteless, IMHO. Especially since Christianity has been, for some 2000 years, the driving force behind homophobia. They can "wish" that Jamey had been born into a kinder world, but their religion helped to make it unkind for him in the first place.
