“If you harm one of these little ones, better for you that a millstone be draped around your neck and you be dropped into the depths of the sea”
Matthew 18:6
Blake Brockington, a young trans activist celebrated nationwide as the first out trans homecoming king in a North Carolina high school, is being mourned after committing suicide Monday night, reports North Carolina LGBT newspaper QNotes.
He had been rejected by his family after coming out as transgender, leading to his placement in a loving foster home.
...
Receiving public attention for his homecoming win was a defining moment for Brockington and also a difficult one, he told local newspaper The Charlotte Observer, as reported by QNotes. "That was single-handedly the hardest part of my trans journey. Really hateful things were said on the Internet. It was hard. I saw how narrow-minded the world really is."
