Earlier this week, Rick Mercer (Canada’s answer to Stephen Colbert, but also gay) called for better adult role models for gay teens, following the suicide of 15-year-old Jamie Hubley, a gay teenager from Ottawa. He says:
“It’s no longer good enough for us to tell kids who are different that it’s going to get better. We have to make it better now. So If you’re gay and you’re in public life, I’m sorry, you don’t have to run around with a Pride flag and bore the hell out of everyone, but you can’t be invisible. Not anymore.”
Basically, you need to watch this video:
BAM.
