He might’ve been a republican, but no one deserves to be bullied to suicide.
EDIT: After reading the comments I tend to agree with some of the people. The guy was a republican, part of a party spewing constant hate. The journalists just pointed out his hypocrisy (although indirectly and taht wasn’t the main point of their article). I just find it rather tragic that a man decides to spew hate unto others just because he can’t accept himself to do the things he wants, and when he’s confronted with that, under pressure he commits suicide. It’s rather… sad. I’m part of the LGBTQ community and still feel a bit sad about all of this even though the guy probably voted against my people…
Exposing hypocrisy of public officials is the duty of journalists. As a representative of his constituents, he holds the responsibility to practice what he preaches and if he can talk the talk then he should walk the walk.
This isn’t bullying. He killed himself because he has severe mental issues and he can’t stand to face the truth about himsellf.
The truth is he represents a political party that routinely preaches hate about people like himself, a party that votes to make it illegal to host drag shows, a party that thinks that gay people should have less rights than straight people.
He killed himself because he couldn’t tolerate being exposed.
If journalists don’t expose our politicians for when they are lying, cheating, stealing, or being corrupt, then the journalists aren’t doing their job.
He killed himself because he knows how badly people like him are treated, because he serves and supports the people who do it. The thought of being on the other end of that interaction was immediately too much to tolerate. If he was bullied into suicide, he was the one doing the bullying.
“don’t worry, he was republican” just doesn’t give me warm and fuzzies. It’s just sad that this is the world we’ve made. What do we have to do to break this down?
Take that publication to court. Someone should pay for this loss of life
Why? What law prevents you from exposing information someone themselves made public?
Don’t forget the mayor was a republican. Free media is more important than republicans saving face.

Eh, I think it was okay for Hitler.
Good point. But I hardly see Hitler as human

Removed by mod
But he wasn’t? Releasing news of you being a hypocrite isn’t bullying. It’s the other Republicans fault he wasn’t comfortable coming out.
Even Stalin, Hitler, or other filthy people?
Alright… I’ll take that back…
