Gabi,
God bless you for sharing your story, for carrying Bill's life
forward to affect positive change through education and
tolerance, and especially for the boundless strength and
compassion you so obviously gave as a parent in Bill's lifetime,
as now.
In the face of hate, misunderstanding and injustice, you restore
my faith. Bayit shalom. |

Dear Gabi,
Thank you for being so courageous to share your story with the
world. The pictures of your son Bill will ‘haunt’ me for
some days. Especially the contrast between your favourite
picture (the one on the couch) and the one where we see him all
tormented (with the red shirt and the purple sash). Thank you
for your warm and decent voice from across the ocean. We need
that here to keep balance.
Love Frank |

I am sorry for the
loss of your son. The hate needs to stop in this world. There is
no room for it. Some people need to be more open-minded, and
have to realize that lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered people
are human, and they/we do have feelings. One day, I do hope to
change the way people think about our society, and that this
just made me even stronger to stop the hate that is in our
world. |

This was such an
incredibly touching story for me. It's tragic to hear about how
people in the world can be so incredibly cruel and heartless. I
can only hope for myself and all else, that the world will
someday grow to be accepting. The hate needs to stop. I guess it
has to take one tear at a time. |

Words can hardly begin
to describe the remorse, never the less the saddness I feel in
cases as such. It angers me to no extent of the ignorant actions
taken to drive your son to his death. These people are the true
epitome of ignorance and really need some quideance from above.
May god bless you and praise life for which it stands. |

Thank you for sharing
your story of your son with me. I am a single mother and am a
lesbian. I am out to most of my friends but none of my family.
It is hard to live this sort of lifestyle as you know.
I came accross your page because of a research project that I am
starting on for my masters degree in community counseling. The
topic of my paper is going to be violence against gays: why and
what does it say about american society. I have chosen this
topic because of many comments that have been made during
several of my counseling courses. Even the most accepting
tolerant people of the counseling proffesion push the anit gay
topic. I find this disgusting and uneducated. Anyway to make a
long story short I am putting a portfolio together of several
articles spaced throughout the semester concerning hate crimes.
If you would like to oblige me please send me whatever
information you have on this matter. Also if you would like a
copy of my complete term paper to share with your organization I
would love to share with you. THank you again Lyn M Miller |

i think that hate
crimes a unhumane, and it is horrible to think that there are
people in this world that would drive someone to suicide because
of who they are, or were. What is our world coming to?? This is
a disgrace to the american nation, as a whole to see what is
happening to anyone whom is different from society's preception
of normal. |

(Note : I am not a fan
of the homophobe named in the page linked to. On that page, I
document the career of a notorious bigot so the reader can see
just how absurd it is). Hi. I haven't read your page, yet,
having been deposited in this guestbook directly by Google. I
thought you might want to know, though, that the tool bar, when
it drops down, cuts off the left side of the entries, making
them unreadable for the visitor. |

May Bill finally find
peace and happiness. He is an amazing person and I bet you are
very proud to have him as a son. His spirit lives with us all
now. May you all find peace. You see, there are people who care.
People who understand. God bless him. I hope you are all
reunited and may this world finally get its comeuppance for
everything its done. You are not alone. |

Being head-injured,
coma almost three weeks, find out what I found out when I went
to Heaven. You'll be very surprised and enlightened by the
Trinity's magnificent, mellifluous knowledge: With such a
price-tag on our souls, human beings are clearly precious beyond
diamonds; Declarations can never describe how effusively
colorful and illuminating Upstairs was and is forever. May God

Hi Gabi
I worked with you at Haven House in 1991. The care you gave to
the clients there was inspiring and the care you gave to me was
much appreciated. I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your
beloved son, I read about a while ago and wasn't sure if it was
you. Thank you for the work you are doing in his name and I wish
you all the best and joy from Bill's memory.
love
Anna |

Gabi...I was just now
sent the url to Bill's story. I just want to say that I am so
sorry for your loss..and for the world's loss in what sounds
like would have been a wonderfully gifted person in your son
Bill. I am a married mother of 2 (a dgtr 12 and son 15). To this
point my children seem to be straight. However, 2 of my closest,
most long time friends are gay (and brothers at that!). Through
them I have met many other gay and lesbian folks who have been a
joy to meet. I just want you to know that I have talked to both
of my children concerning sexual orientation and have assured
them both that if either of them should ever feel that they are
homosexual that it would not make one bit of difference in how
much they were loved or thought of. I make it a point to stand
up for the civil rights of all races, religions, and sexual
orientations. I don't provide the world with loud speeches, or
write papers to the editor. My contribution is much smaller than
that...what I do is to teach my children that everybody deserves
to be shown love, kindness and respect no matter what. My kids
are kind and loving and lacking in prejudice of any kind...and I
suspect their children will be raised in the same manner, and
their children and their children...and so on. So my gift is a
legacy of tolerance, equality and kindness. I hope that Bill
would appreciate the subtlety of my gift. I will be sharing his
story with both of my children which will generate a great deal
of conversation between us. Thank you so much for the courage
you show in sharing Bill's story.
With hope in my heart,
Robin Mikealson-Sparrow |

Your memorial to your
son is so beautiful! So much of what he went through in his
young life is so much like what my son endured before his death.
He was not actually beaten, but he was verbally abused. One of
these days I would like to sit down and tell you a little about
my son. God bless you! |

I am glad you have
your story here about your son. I hate what happened to him. I
have been beaten a few times myself out in public. I never
understood how people can hate someone without ever getting to
know them first as real people and not some prejudice of one
kind or another. just because we are different is no reason for
hate. I dont know if this world will ever be what it should be,
but i do understand why he killed himself...i understand very
well. my email account is not active currently but will be in
the future. please enjoy my website. also please enjoy my
favorite bulletin board for GLBT at this address http://return.to/digitalrainbow/
tons of unconditional love to everyone....and.....Happy New
Year!!

Dear Gabi and Alec,
I am so sorry to read about your sons death and the horrfic
events that led up to his death. I think he was a brave young
man coming out so young, and from what his teachers said about
him, he was a person who would have been a positive influence on
anyone who met him.
I can't imagine the pain your going though, but I do admire the
way you are keeping your sons memory alive and campaigning for
justice.
When I was a teenager in high school, my two best friend's were
openly gay and we received a lot of abuse (I was even abused for
having short hair). The worst attack was at a school dance when
my friend was beaten unconcscious and suffered a broken cheek
bone. He received little support from the school at the time and
the young men who attacked him were not prosecuted. They did not
belong to the school and we did not know them.
Happily my friend recovered from the attack (although I expect
he still is haunted by the memory) and we escaped to the big
city. I hope the world is becoming a more tolerant place.
Kind regards,
Lynne |

I'm very sorry for
your loss. I'm writing my speech for our team on hate crimes. I
dont understand how people can hate so visciously and say they
love God. People dont have the right or the power to condemn and
damn to hell. That's God's right and power. I may be just a
teenager, but if you want to talk to someone, I will be here to
listen. |

Hi there,
I read about Bill in "Friends and Family" by Dan Woog,
that is how I have just found your site. There is a lot I feel I
would like to tell you but I have made a promise to one so close
to me, that I must stay silent. But one day I would like to talk
more to you. Please can you direct me to a web site for parents
of gay children. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your strength of telling your story and I pray for Bill, who I
am sure is a buitifull person.
God Bless you and your Family,
Dave and Shirley, (England) |

Dear Ms. Clayton:
Thanks for sharing your story.
When are we as a society going to learn to live together and
appreciate our diversity rather than merely tolerating it? When
are people going to stop hating others just because they may be
different? When indeed. |

this is such a sad
story. i think it is wrong to treat people like crap just
because they are gay. eventhough my beliefs are against being
gay, i would never treat someone hatefully. i have a few gay
friends, and they are such great people. i think everyone needs
to open their eyes and see that u can't help ur sexual desires.
if u think its ok to treat gay people like crap, then u are no
better than a piece of crap. they are human beings to and should
be treated likewise. |

That was really
touching, I've only just started to come out to people, and i am
afraid of stuff like hatred, but it exists and the only was we
will be able to get rid of it is through education and through
websites like yours. thank you. x |

I have been looking
very hard in the last year for an organization here in Canada
that deals with homosexuality amoung teenagers and can find next
to nothing. I am returning to school myself to get training in
counceling to help young people. Since 1994 my family has lost 3
young men to suicide. I am a 45 yr old lesbian who came out at
the age of 18 to my family and friends but life has still be
difficult............I found you site and praise you for what
you have shared and given to others. I know that you are in the
USA but if you can direct me at all to any groups you know of in
Canada i could contact i would greatly apperciate your time and
help
Thank-you

I'm SO very sorry for the loss of your son, Bill. He looked to
be a very lovely young man and my heart goes out to you. This
memorial site is a wonderful tribute to him.

Gabbi, Thank you for
making Bill's story public. I am a supporter and advocate for
the G.L.B.T. community. This just makes me feel like I have more
reason then ever to keep fighting. PLease remember, there are
people out there that are fighting to keep todays G.L.B.T. youth
from finding little or no support when in need. You are in my
prayers and heart. My other half, Amanda, has brought me to this
site, and it is so close to home with the emotion and sorrow
felt by the community in whole. We wish you the best, and are
here to help in any way we can. I find that people strive for
one thing in life, and it is unconditional love, love is God's
will for us, and to love unconditionally without expectation of
being loved, reguardless of age, race, sexual identity,
religion, lack of religion etc. Love is not prejudice, love is
God. Bill is with our loving God waiting for us to join him.
Thnak you for your efforts. Erek |

Gabi, My heart goes
out to you. Too many GLBT people die, out of others hatred and
ignorance. We all made aware of deaths caused by direct acts of
physical violence and hatred. It is stories like Bill's that we
need to more more about. His "this just is" touched
me. Being transgender, I am all aware of that feeling. May God
bless you for your strength and efforts. |
