Today I am utterly outraged at the story about Tyler Clementi’s suicide. It is despicable that his roommate+ another student thought it OK to videotape him in a sexual encounter in his room and then BROADCAST this on the web. Are you serious? Who told these students that this would be ok? That you can invade someone's privacy for your sick twisted voyeurism ways. To think these acts pushed this talented youth to suicide is utterly heartbreaking because it should not be this way. We should not be this way- the world should not be this way.
The way i see it your teen years and college is hard enough without random people videotaping your sexual romps and broadcasting it for everyone to watch. Yes, this man was gay but THAT DOES NOT MATTER! What matters is that he is a human being with a heart, feelings, emotions and a life that is worth something. If he wanted to have sex with a flipping consenting blow up doll IT DOES NOT MATTER. IT IS HIS CHOICE!!!! The ridiculous roommate +other student that set this up really need some serious counseling and treatment and I am sure their parents must feel as horrible as the ones who lost their child.
I am saddened that Tyler didn't feel he could speak to anyone about this- that he felt the only way out was to take his own life. How sad is that? How sad that he didn't fell supported enough in his life to be able to openly express this troubling events with the roommate and then the general situation at hand. I hope that in light of these events the university officials and activists look at this situation- EDUCATE others from it- and understand the value of Tyler’s life.
