Weho Holds Candlelight Vigil for Suicide Victims
Participants observe a moment of silence and call for California legislation to protect victims of bullying.
A crowd of about 100 people gathered at West Hollywood Park on Tuesday night to remember teens who have committed suicide as a result of anti-gay bullying.
The speakers included Charles Robbins, CEO of the Trevor Project, Rev. Neil Thomas of Metropolitan Community Church Los Angeles (MCCLA) and City Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath.

one way is for the people who write opinions on the patch to stop criticizing the way people dress in hollywood. its very damaging to a young gay mans confidence to be told he shouldnt dress a certain way when he feels confident expressing himself like has been done regarding the opinion about people wearing thier pants too low or how they dress to express themselves at halloween as suggested by two of the patches contributiong writers. the hollowween carnavale is supposed to be freakish, extreme and erotic. that is what a carnaval is. plus there is nothing wrong with a young man wearing his pants low around his waist to fell like hes fitting into a huge national fad, but to tell him hes wrong can damage his confidence.
