In Colorado, a 9-year-old boy died by suicide after reportedly being bullied by classmates after coming out as gay. Jamel Myles was a fourth grade student at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School in Denver. Jamel’s mother Leia Pierce said, “We have to stop bullying and teach people it’s OK to love each other. … We have to stop hating each other for differences, differences that make us equal and unique.”
