Your story has
touch me greatly as a gay man i had to endure much of what Bill
went through. And FULLY support you and the folks that fight the
negitivity of bieng Gay, bisexual, Lesbian,and transgendered,Ect....
Though I have never fought my self but have spoken out about the
bashing that happens because we were born this way , the hate
will always be there no matter what we do. I hope now that we
are in the 21st century things will change for the better. But
we as a people can try to stop the hate first we must put a stop
to 1 Rev. Phelps from Topeka Kansas he is a man so filled with
hate his actions are frightening..
With all my heart

Gabi,
Nothing is more tragic in life than the loss of a loved one or a
child. I just got done reading "Bill's Story" and I
cried some. No parent should ever have to go through that. I
think (and do not take this the wrong way) I think that this is
what the gay bashers expect us to do: lay down and just
die..kill oursleve and save them the troubble of having to deal
with us. I was once like your son at one time..many times i
wanted to kill myself because I knew the world would not change
its views on gays and lesbians or bisexuals. However, something
in me said: Why give the gay bashers the satisfaction of knowing
that they just killed one more "faggot" and not at
their own hands? It took a while..lots of therapy and support
from my family and friends before I knew that I could harden
myself against the taunts and the beatings...lots of work out
time in the gym made it so i could fight back not just
physically but also mentall and emotionally.I made it part of my
creed that I was not going to be the victim of my fears anymore.
And I am truely sorry about your son..it is tragic. I pray that
one day we will live in a world where tolerence and diversity
are taught and people understand one another. Keep fighting the
good fight and it will all be rewarded in the end. My prayers
and heart go out to you; |

Im sure the pain
you feel with your sad loss of Bill will over time ease.But the
fine words have helped spread the word,that we are all born
equal and nobody has the right to take action over
somebodys being different.
Live and let Live,we can not bring Bill back but let us hope
that the message will get passed on. Life is hard for young
people to come to grips with and they need lots of support from
all sources. The media can play a major role in reducing
homophobia and getting
a positive message across.But they tend not to want to get
involved......so please make use of the internet to get this
message out loud and clear..... |

A very good looking
man.It don't matter what he was gau-bisexual he was still a
man.He stood for what he believed in,and paid the price.Suicide
is a silent killer.I pray Bill and Chris found each other.The
life of a gay or bisexual is so very hard how could anyone think
they choose to be this way.Who would choose to be gay /bisexual/lesbian.It
is to hard a life for choosing.Chris to my knowledge was not
attacked as Bill was but had been attacked,and now I wish I
would have done something about it.I guess I was still in the
inital shock of him being gay,and never heard of such things as
hate crimes,unfortunately the one that attacked Chris suicided
several years ago from my understanding,I also never gave
suicide so much thought till it hit my home.I have had 2 uncles
suicide,2 sister in laws,my grandaughters grandfather on her
mothers side.But never gave it much thought till Chris.It is a
silent Epidemic.Iam sorry I didn't mean to get carried away on
this.May God hold you in the palm of his hand and protect all of
those to hate crimes and suicidal thoughts.Lets stop the silence
and violence.Hugs Dianna mom of Christopher Jack Marris

A very touching and eye opening
story. I am a gay male in MT and have not experienced this hate. I hope I
never will. My sympathy goes out to you for the loss of your son. What he
did to end homophobia makes me proud. I also thank you for continuing his
effort! Good luck with your efforts. Thanks again!

After reading
Bill's story, words tend to be inadequate. Still after all these
years intolerance against people with a diffirent lifestyle has
remained. That doesn't mean we have to tolerate it!
I do think that Bill has been very brave and courages to be that
open about his sexual orientation.
By putting his story on the internet you show the ulimate love
and respect for Bill. I do hope that by putting Bill's story on
the www you are able to open a dialog and are able to show the
world that people are equal, no matter who they are of what they
are. |

I was deeply moved
and touched by your story about your son, Bill. My heart goes
out to you and I, too, share your hopes that your story will do
some good in a crazy world.
I am an orthodontist here in Sarasota, Florida, for the last 27
years. I am also gay. I started out "straight",
getting married and adopting a daughter when she was eight weeks
old. I have been out of the closet and divorced since 1979, and
am on good terms with my former wife. My daughter and I share an
excellent relationship, and I thank God for that.
I am active in local and national causes, such as ALSO for Gay
Youth here in Sarasota and am a member of the Federal Club of
the Human Rights Campaign. I applaud your courage and caring. I
am so sorry about your son. Just reading his story has made a
difference in my life.
I recently placed safe sex brochures in my office, in order to
save some lives and avoid much heartache in others. I see that I
haven't gone far enough. I give you my word that I will place
ALSO for Gay Youth pamphlets along with the safe sex ones, so to
avoid any more unnecessary tragedies.
I thank you with all my heart.

Dear Gabbi -
You have great fortitude to do what you have done to honor your
son Bill. I'm sure he looks down from Heaven every day and
smiles. Who knows, maybe he's pointing you out to the others up
there right now.
You have done such fine work with the page. I hope you don't
mind, but I shared the link to Bill's Story with others. The
more people of any orientation should read it. I will be placing
the link on my homepage as soon as I finish this guest book
entry. And I hope others will also share the link with everyone
they know.
Take care & God Bless,
Mark |

Wow. I knew hate
crimes were a problem, but this site has just made it all the
more obvious how serious a problem they are... All my friends
use "gay" and "homosexual" as words to
express hatred towards people, or even things and events, that's
just how my community is, though I wish it weren't. I'm a
19-year-old Bi-sexual man, though I'm not open about it...in
fact, I've never told anyone aside from people I've met online.
I think a lot about "coming-out" but I fear that in
such a small ultra-conservative town such as the one I live in I
would only bring suffering to myself, I realize I can't hide
from the truth forever (nor do I wish to), but fear is a very
powerful form of dissuasion... I wish there was something I
could do to change the way things are... |

I just read your
truely heart wrenching story, after having discovered it thru a
link from Kyle's Bed and Breakfast comic page. My heart, my
thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I truely
wish and believe that Bill's spirit has found peace. And he now
knows that not all individuals in the world are as hate filled
as the man that assaulted him, or the teenagers that beat him.
I am a gay man in my 40's and have been lucky enough to have
also had a loving and supportive family. Please keep up your
good work.

i must begin by
saying that i am so very sorry for your loss...i read bill's
story, and it brought me to tears. when will people learn to
accept those who are "different"?? it's a shame that
there are people so ignorant and full of hate that they would
torment and harass another person based only on his or her
sexual orientation. this kind of hatred must be stopped, before
another innocent life is snatched away...before one more person
gives up hope and simply decides not to cope anymore. |

Hi...I just wanted
to tell you that Bill's story brought me to tears. I am a 15
year old lesbian and I know what it's like to be discriminated
against. I am with you 100% on fighting back and ending the
hate. I try to learn as much as I can about hate crimes and
discrimination against GLBTQ's because I truely believe that
knowledge is power..especially if you use that knowledge to your
advantage. Someday I'd like to get into politics and change some
of the laws that make it easy for people to hurt us and get away
with it. 20-30 days is not a lot considering that some kids in
my classes have gotten longer sentences on drug charges and
those kids caused someone to take their life. I truely hope that
I can change things someday, for myself, for your family, for
all the other "Bills" in the world...and for the world
itself. I know this is long and drawnout but I just wanted you
to know that your story inspired me.
love,
christina |

Hey i just read the
story and now i realise the standard of hate crime. I have a
friend who openly admits to being bi and has recently had
trouble with hate crime. The story touched me so much i was near
tears. Im sure my when my friend reads this it will encourage
them to fight for wot they believe and not make the people who
do the crime win.
Thank you so much again

Beautiful but
depressingly sad story. My heart goes out to Bill's family.
Sadly, the general hate in the world towards homosexuality is
what makes life a living nightmare for gays. |

I'm doing a project
on teen suicide for my language arts class. I've never taken
suicide so seriously until I read Bill's story. It's so deep,
sad, emotional but true; It's reality! And if we continue to
allow society to make us feel like we should keep things bottled
up inside things are just going to get worse. I applaud Bill for
having the courage to be so open with his sexuality; it can;t be
easy! I'm going to take my first step on the healing of this by
sharing Bill's story with my classmates. Thanks for giving me
the inspiration to help others. |

I am a 32 year-old
gay college professor in a country where hate and intolerance of
a few seem to silence the voices of thousands of good,
hard-working people. I don't know exactly why I was looking up
the word suicide in the Internet, but thank God I found your
site. So I really appreciate your words here because they
comfort me. You said "Silence is where the hate
grows", but it's necessary to re-state this as "This
site is where your love (and Bill's) grows".

I found this page
from my friend, who had looked at pages dedicated to young
people that committed suicide.
I began to cry as I read Bill's story. I'm still sniffling a
little now.
I know someone who is gay. He is a beautiful person. Fun,
intelligent...
This world is just wrong. I wish that in my life time I could
see the end to the hate.
I see things like this happen every day. Why is it that the
teens of my generation want so badly to destroy anything
different?
I'm very sorry about what happened to Bill. I hope that his
story will help others to see.
His spirit lives on.

I came upon this
site while I was surfing online. Before this time I had been
fearful of what my family would think of me if I ever told them
that I was gay. Now I see that it does no good for anyone else
to keep it hidden. I see that I have to change that. After all,

If I can get ten other people to help me in my charge, maybe one
man can make a difference. |

I think you are an
amazing woman Gabi. Your son's story touched my heart. I have
been fighting depression for 3 years and Bill's story has made
me think carefully about life.
I wish you peace and solace. |

After just reading
your sons' story, I must tell you that I am touched. Not only as
a mother, but as a survivor of depression and as a person with
an open heart and true concerns for the happieness of others.
How kind of you to share. Love heals...Pass it on! |

As a transgender
activist, I see all too many stories like this.
It breaks my heart, and I extend my sympathies to you and your
family.
Bill lives on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him, and
loved him.
Coping is very difficult, and the overwhelming feeling of
despair is almost constant.
As a male to female transsexual, I know just how awful it feels
on a daily basis.
I have dedicated my life in dealing with GLBT issues through the
organization I founded here in New Mexico, S. U. R. E.
{Sensitivity, Understanding, Respect, through Education} as a
way of getting the message of non-discrimination in schools.
Please know that Bill is at peace, and watching and helping us
all, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Love, Peace, & Solidarity,
Randey Michelle Gordon |

I know not any
words that encompass the emotions I feel after reading your
story. I have signed this guest book before, but I always seem
to come back. This story is so tragic yet an inspiration to
straights, gays, anyone. I am gay myself and living in a world
such as depicted in this story is a horrifying thing! However
writings such as this need to be instilled in each of us. I
cannot begin to know the hurt you feel Gabi. But I know that my
heart goes out to you. I am so glad that you are keeping your
sons spirit alive through a page such as this. Please keep in
touch for you are truely an AMAZING woman! Minorities such as
gays need people like you to look up to. People who are
accepting no matter what. Please keep in touch!
With Tears,
Scott |
