I won't say who...

But a forum member I also befriended irl and hung out with regularly has committed suicide recently. That is unfortunate, they were a pretty cool guy, and they never even talked about how I was more queer than a 3-dollar bill. They were a person who cared about people genuinely, and helped other people they didn't even know. A true man of his words, and a true man of character. I am unworthy to have been his friend. I can only imagine what terrible things drove them to commit suicide.

I will remember him, even if others do not. To be honest I kinda had a thing for him, but never told him my feelings because he was already married.

My friend was the opposite. He killed himself because he couldn't handle his sexuality and his religion. Which in part i was trying to deny my own feelings also. I was close to just jumping off the bridge to swim with the sharks myself, but his death just made me realize i couldn't leave my brothers with a junkie to fend for themselves. Cost me my faith but meh i was tired of pedo priests and dogma.

See, it's a times like this that I reaffirm that religions are bullshit.

My condolences to your friend, OP.

Not sure IB was the right place to put this so...
