>Interview with Carl Walker-Hoover’s mom at ESSENCE.com

>More details about what led an 11-year-old boy to take his own life in this ESSENCE.com article. Carl Walker-Hoover would have turned 12 tomorrow on the Day of Silence. He didn’t identify as gay, and yet he was constantly harassed with anti-LGBT language. It’s a tragic reminder of why ALL bullying must stop and why we have to train educators to identify and address anti-LGBT bullying.
